Your points are mostly valid, but Intel doesn't sell any desktop cards, and back when I bought
my hardware ATI where nowhere near open either, so I really had no option there. 

I really wanted to buy a laptop with an Intel GPU, but the exakt same laptop that I bought but
with Intel graphics cost a full $600 more than the one I bought. They where selling the laptop
I bought at almost half price because they had introduced the exact same model but with Vista
certification. Thanks, Micorsoft!!! While I strongly wanted to support Intel, $600 was simply
too much, and I caved in. I have some regrets.

Saving $600 is worth a few regrets.
