Linux as AC 97 soundLinux as AC 97 soundPosted Dec 27, 2008 0:21 UTC (Sat) by dmarti (subscriber, #11625)In reply to: What's in it for Intel? by sbishop Parent article: Alan Cox is moving on from Red Hat A customer's computer budget is only so big, and Intel wants a bigger share of it. If a customer buys a expensive Creative Labs card instead of using the generic Intel sound hardware on the motherboard, that's a smaller fraction of the budget going to Intel. Same for graphics, and every other part of the system -- there's a cheap generic version that customers can choose in order to spend more on the Intel processor and chipset. Supporting Linux is just giving customers another cheap generic option.
