Ja bych doporucoval se pozastavit nad timto radkem -

Zda se ze spousta firem chce posledni dobou nesmyslne kecat do linux
a nutit jejich developery, aby vyvijeli kernely BINARNE kompatibilni.
Coz je presne to, oc je linux lepsi nez Windows - zlepsi se interface
a nemusi se drzet zpetne kompatibilni s starymi moduly.

Nevite nekdo o nejake petici na toto tema - me osobne to prijde dost
otresne.

Tento argument je super - tzn. ze do zvukoveho driveru chce Creative
vlozit snad cele ovladani jejich chipu - to nechci videt velikost toho
modulu, myslim, ze se dam na modleni
