But you can't expect other people to work according to your belief sets.
So you cannot hold onto the view that hardware manufacturers who don't
support Linux must be boycotted right? I am not even getting to the part
where this (boycotting) isn't enforcing your opinion on hardware
manufacturers or not.
If Intel respects the Freedom of users and at the same time NVIDIA and
ATI doesn't, why not support Intel?
My point is simply this:
You cannot decide to remain a niche player while simultaneously expecting
hardware manufactures to cater to you as if you are a mass market player.
But when some players do support, why should we ever go to those who don't care.
I haven't received any response from you on this except the same tired
arguments which I have already addressed.

P.S: For those labouring on my usage of pronouns: (You vs We)
1. I suggest that you get a life.
Thanks. I went too far with this. Sorry about that. (I keep seeing
this kind of mails all the time so sometimes it becomes too agressive,
will try to be calmer).
2. Whether I am contributing to FOSS or not (you don't know), my points
are still valid. So I suggest that you answer my points without getting
caught up with trivialities. I am assuming that you are capable of civil
discourse.
My point was you could help clear up some of the points which you
brought up rather than pointing fingers at others and expect others to
do what you felt the most important thing (like sharing more market
share). My point is if you feel that is the most important thing you
feel start doing something about it with the help of others who share
the same ideas rather than expecting others to do it (even when they
might not see it as the priority thing).
Cheers
