Well nVidia won't decide such a thing based on what some guy in nVidia may or may not have said in the past, they'll just say it "didn't reflect official company policy" if they didn't like the sound of it. But the AMD move does pressure them to follow suit. Some years ago I spent a couple of months trying to figure out how to bring up the nVidia hardware in the Xbox 1 from scratch without any data, I bet the nouveau guys would die and go to heaven if they actually got real data and support from nVidia for everything. > Our resident Nvidia shill, Lenny, should be in a good position to find out the She's just working at nVidia, she's not a complete subhuman (like someone working at Microsoft... -- just kidding). I worked for an American tech corporation for a while and it's expected to sing the company song... it would be hard for such a person to publicly take a dump on the corporate policy even if they hated it. So we shouldn't judge so harshly... -Andy
