Not directly related to Java development but having a big player in the Linux + OpenGL space will help us all.

And I found the OpenGL versus DirectX part interesting.

having a new major player in the open gl space is definitely a good thing, especially with this great results. I hope on some more news of this kind in the future.

For me the best part is when Valve is working with GPU vendors to make their drivers better. I think this is the best part people will be benefited from.
