When they released that card they said it would never have any linux
support so clearly they have made some progress.

They will care when they see how large the real market is. Getting the
statistics on that first requires a concerted effort but it is in
everyones interests because it reinforces the credibility of the platform
and provides sales incentive to companies that are sitting on the fence.

What they want to know is how many people can I sell to and how much is it
going to cost me to provide them a product/service. Once they have those
tow statistics they can make an informed decision about the revenue
potential.

We can provide them the first part of the equation. They can figure out
the rest.
