I think what was most interesting in the article, was the statement:
Much to everyone's surprise, earlier this month ATI released a new set of display drivers (v8.14.13) which shocked the entire Linux community. These drivers finally showed some major improvements for ATI not only in performance, but also in the driver installer and control panel. Although ATI still has a lot of work ahead of them, if they want to become the leader in Linux graphics cards, they're slowly catching up and becoming more competitive with the drivers that NVIDIA offers to the Linux community.
