I disagree. While AMD has a good track record with free
software... so does Intel:

1. Nearly all of their wireless drivers are free,
    and have been for a long time. (..with small
    arguments about the firmware...) They are also
    developed in a fairly open manner.

2. Their graphics drivers are free, especially
    the newer ones... and they're developed in
    a fairly open manner.

3. Nearly all of their compilers and developer
    tools run on Linux.

4. They (along with Nokia) are bank-rolling the
    MeeGo project. It is also being developed in
    an open manner with an emphasis on getting
    free code into upstream.
