Poulsbo mess casts a shadow on Intel's Moblin project (ars technica)

Ars technica takes Intel to task for the GMA500 graphics mess. "The crappy Poulsbo Linux drivers are practically notorious by now, so these issues aren't exactly news to Linux enthusiasts who have been watching the fiasco unfold for over a year; it has been like a trainwreck in slow motion. The real problem is Intel's lack of responsiveness to the concerns expressed by the Linux community. Intel has responded to criticism with extraordinary dismissiveness and has failed to provide meaningful clarification about the extent to which it intends to provide Linux software support for the hardware that it sells to vendors."
