Not a model in high regard and Harvard Business School. But one that merits careful attention by buisiness management.
That post cited two management bugs that created a persistent problem for Linden Lab marketing. I am happy to report that one of these bugs is now being targeted for extermination by Oz Linden.
One of the bug swatters I called for was action to be sure that the installer for the viewer has up-to-date lists of graphics cards.
Oz Linden is working on that:
Oz Linden:
https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/STORM-1100tracks making a bunch of updates to the GPU recognition in the viewer. Many thanks to the several people who have been checking and contributing updated entries.

A test viewer for this issue can be download from the wiki at
https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Downloading_test_builds#Developer_Builds
Note: this is a developer test viewer; it may well not be as stable as released viewers. It will not automatically update the way released viewers do.

If you have been having trouble with your GPU being recognized or you believe it has been incorrectly classified, then please download that viewer and report by adding a comment STORM-1100.
==================================
Geek-to-English translation
GPU: Graphics Processor Unit
GPU_Table.txt: A text file listing all GPUs recognized by the installer program, along with the settings appropriate for each GPU.
jira: interactive system recording system/software changes proposed or in work
The issue is recognized in the jira as belonging in open-source because it applies to all viewers. It is also recognized as persistent because new GPUs are released frequently. For cases where GPU recognition fails, a test viewer is available. There are apparently several people working on keeping the GPU_Table.tx file updated. I thought the manufacturers would issue a timely update notice on any new GPU, but I don't see that mentioned.
At any rate, LL recognizes the need to keep the GPU recognition updates and has assigned that task to a specific person, Oz Linden. Check one item off the GTF list.
