No joke. For me it works very well, for what I want it to do, and for 
95% of all users. I am not NASA or Los Alamos, however.

The average user who just wants decent performance (i.e., playable 
games) without upgrade nightmares (syncing kernels + modules, X crashes 
after distro upgrade, etc, etc) the Intel approach is painless and 
under-appreciated.

The free ATI and nvidia drivers were awful, for me - visible performance 
problems.

The closed nvidia driver works well, as long as you don't upgrade kernels.

I could never make the closed ATI drivers work, at all.

The intel driver appears to work just as well as the nvidia driver did, 
for me. And they JUST WORK!
