Ok so we will only have Intel when it comes to desktop and laptop processors and running anything but Windows. Great.

I also hear they want to start doing binary blobs and ditch their open source drivers. Yay!

This isn't really new, the difference is the binary blob is being at runtime instead of being part of your UEFI image or whatever, Intel have surely had "binary blobs" before, possibly in some write only memory too.
