How much modern computer hardware is fully open source or at least has fully

open interfaces that allow anyone to create device drivers?  I Sun and

another company (Anglo-Italian firm Simply-RISC) released a processor based

on Suns offering but has anyone else?  Would you be more inclined to buy a

machine based on open source hardware rather than proprietary products such

as Asus, Intel and AMD?
