It kind of seems like we're evolving towards the GPU being the "main computer".

We need to keep an extra close eye on things like open standards and free drivers. nVidia's closed-source stack only feels like a minor hassle right now, but if you think of the GPU as the heart of the system it puts us right back to the bad old days of computing where cross-platform was impossible, compilers were vendored, and operating systems were closed source. We got into the current cushy situation of PC compatibility by sheer luck, and the "mobile revolution" is a warning sign that we can't take any of it for granted when the computing substrate evolves.
