I think there's some NDA issues here, but I'm not sure about that. In any
case, I could care less about whether or not they release the source code
for their drivers. I want them to release the damn specs for their cards,
so we won't NEED the source code.

However, these new drivers are great news to us morons who fell for
nvidia's hype all that time ago - we can finally get some amazingly good
performance out of our videocards. I seriously doubt I'm ever buying an
nvidia product again unless they start being nice about specs.
