My Discussion with Kim Stowe - DisplayLink Public Relations

Hi Kim - any possibility that DisplayLink will open source the drivers for this? I just got one of the Diamond ones and while it really is pretty awesome what you guys are able to do, the lack of 3d acceleration is particularly noticeable on the Mac OS.

Also, I would consider the Mac people to be a bigger growth area than the Windows ones since you can't really solve this problem on Mac any other way (no docking stations etc). Also, with so many people getting the MBPs I'd think it's a pretty sizable market.

I like it since my main use case is text editing (programming) but every now and then the Expose hits and it definitely takes away from the experience.
