What impact will this have though?
Will all distros have to start following this standard so as not to get left behind?
Don't get me wrong, i'm all for standards and for good competition, but i'm not a big fan of any of the distros in the list given in that article.
I understand that this appears to specifically targeted toward business systems, but a lot of business practices go into the workstation distro's as well.
And if driver companies do start releasing linux versions, then they might stop handing out their specs. I can remember a few cases where
hacked" drivers work much better than the drivers from the companies.
I just hope this is done in such a way that our "freedom of choice" is not obstructed.
