For that to happen we need "market share" and we need the hardware manufacturers to commit to opening their drivers.

Market share first; it gives us the power to say to company A that company B supports our operating system, so We'll spend our money there. If I do that on my own they think I'm a nut. If millions of us do it that would really start to hurt.
