It's going to take a long time to get good 3D drivers.

It's going to cost AMD money and time to release specs for their hardware. Remember that they have other people's IP in there, probably including some of Microsoft's hardware experience.

They'd probably like developers to focus on newer stuff. Stuff that people are going to be using by the time these drivers are ready to go mainstream.
