I thought I stated that the main reason was market demand?

(Some of my own comments not representing any company)
By market I mean revenue... The Linux and FOSS world isn't exactly a 
huge market for high end graphics cards and total sales.  With the Tesla 
series of cards and most HPC clusters behing Linux powered this has the 
potential to change things.  Maybe I'm too optimistic and biased, but 
from my perspective I think there's a change in the winds coming..
