It's not slanted, on the contrary it's in a very nice tone that the vendors 
don't deserve *at all*. What vendors deserve is some serious butt-kicking. 
One cannot lighten up in face of vendors not only not giving a damn, and 
being oblivious to the requests of their user base, but also being 
technically inept (re. the OS community making a better driver than 
vendors').

The article is biased, if at all, towards the vendors, because it doesn't use 
expletives and doesn't offer promises of bodily harm. If it were truer to 
reality, it'd have both.
