> it doesn't seem too extreme to expect similar support for Larrabee You have a point, but I think the reason NVIDIA doesn't open-source the drivers is the same as the reason Larrabee probably wouldn't open-source them - i.e. fear of releasing the details of the GPU design to the competition. Current Intel's graphics has nothing to hide from NVIDIA, but Lrrabee would. But of course, this is just speculation, especially now that no consumer Larrabee is on the horizon...
