Because Intel killed OLPC.

I hate Intel because Intel just flat out wont stop pulverizing the processor market competition in a bad way that is just too evil, Intel plays wayyyy too many dirty tricks, and it makes me sick. Intel would not be able to compete with AMD if Intel played even half as much dirty crap tricks that Intel has. Look at it this way. Without so many dirty tricks that has punched AMD into the ground and just kept kicking AMD hard while AMD was on the ground with Intel's evil tactics, AMD would have been able to excel ten times faster than Intel. Not only would the market be wayyy better, because Intel takes any ideas that AMD has as soon as they get word of it and pump way more money into it to improve it in term keeping the competition fresh, but technology would be far more advanced as well. And the world would be a better place, more advanced, more balanced, less crappy bully tactics being shoved down the throat of competitors.

I really think that intel needs to put out drivers for the 910/915. I have a laptop that has this. I have installed vista but to find out that I also cant run the aero theme. I am really sad at this also because it runs vist great. Also there is so meny laptops with these chips in them. To just screw this meny people just because you dont want to spend the money I think is pretty stupied. So does that mean if I buy another chip from intel I am not going to get any driver support with it also? I am not going to ever buy another laptop with intel parts in it. I am done buying intel. I know that it was going to be crappy when I bought it but wow didnt think that it was going to be this bad. Oh well you live and you learn. DONT BUY INTEL!!!!!!

Intel is too slow, and reacts too slowly. It is also not good at being "officially" open to developers. For example, I have found a bona fide bug in the Intel GMA DirectX drivers (or hardware?) Software that works on REF, that works on NVIDIA, that works on ATI, draws only a black screen (very slowly) on GMA 950 (both Vista and XP, laptops and desktops). I even have a small, simple reproduction case, with source.

Now what?

For NVIDIA, I e-mail devrel@nvidia.com, and they always answer.
For ATI/AMD, I e-mail devrel@ati.com, and they usually answer
From Intel, not only isn't there an easy to find e-mail address, but there's also no answer.

Also, NVIDIA and ATI/AMD want to push their technology, so they ship tools like CG, RenderMonkey, CodeAnalyst, PerfHud et all for free to developers. Meanwhile, Intel builds software like VTune, IPP and icc, and charges enterprise class prices for the software. Of course developers will go elsewhere -- I work for an actual company with actual budgets, and "free" beats "$500" on a line item any day. It's even worse for indie developers or hobbyists.

I have decided to boycott Intel after reading and hearing about your attempts to crush John Negroponte's One Laptop Per Child project. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. It's Linux, AMD, and open-source from now on.

The sad thing is, you guys are probably going to win. New rule of thumb: next time you want "corporate aid" to the little guy (ie starving kids in Thailand/Africa/South America), create a start-up that threatens the corporate monopoly.

Almost all mid rang dell machines sold between 2004 and 2006 have intel 910/915. Does Intel want to fall out with its Dell customers?

Intel needs to make some GMA900 drivers - that's their biggest problem - they're to busy whining about profit margins than to provide some actual support.
