Looks very interesting. I wonder how much the lack of Pixel Shaders will affect their next part.

Truform is just one detail about their next part. I bet the Radeon2 will have programmable pixel shaders.

<Edit>Actually, most agree that the Radeon2 will not have programmable pixel shaders. That is a downer, but this TRUFORM stuff almost looks too good to be true.</Edit>

I find it very difficult to believe that its really only going to take one line of code to add this feature. From my experience in programming it seems that when you turn on some feature like this it breaks a hundred other things that you have to go back and change to work with the new feature.
