ATi Stream Support - Who has Adopted it - Who Needs to Adobt it?

This plain and simple request for ATi Stream Support for Adobe and Avid.

This has been bugging me since I bought my cards back in January. Only three company has adopted GPU support in Favor of Nvidia CUDA®. Mark for Mark, ATi's Radeon 5970 beats Nvida's Fermi 480 Gtx. I just hope that Nvidia has all their I's and T's crossed if AMD decides to push for Stream Technologies along side its proprietary CUDA Technologies. AMD has been on a role for Anti-trust and FTC victories against Intel forcing it to adopt to AMD standards. Nvidia will most likely be next and I hope so that I can due my work faster instead of waiting hours to convert Video so it can be transcoded with AMD ATi drivers.

Ati Vs Nvidia ,
Nvidia's GTX 480: First Fermi Benchmarks! | Maximum PC , Ati 5970 beats every single Nvidia Fermi card on the list. I know that Nvidia has pushed CUDA to the extreme. I talk with companies of XFX and EVGA since my Mobo is the EVGA 4-way sli with Dual XFX ATi Radeon 5870 XXX series card. It took awhile for EVGA to about 6 months fix BIOS issues with Radeon Cards, Processors, and Memory timings with Bios number 64 (keep for safe keeping on bootable USB drive to fix future problems of Bios). Well here are my issues!

Now that all issues have been fixed with the hardware, where is the software support. I know that companies stand on a fence and picked which to slide into as illistrated by my fav youtube Video Mega Woosh(YouTube - MEGAWOOSH - Bruno Kammerl jumps).

I hope that I do not have to due this to my cards including my boss, (YouTube - Doritos Snow Globe), and buying a twin Fermi's instead of my 5870's.

Is this problem that Amd has decided to have a "Open Source" Architecture of it's GPU's.

Is there A Problem with the 5XXX's series cards that is does not work or is it toooooooo complicated to change from CUDA to OpenCL.

Adobe is optimized for CUDA®©.

Just give us the Source Code of the Opitmizations so that it can be ported over to ATi GPU Stream or does AMD have to Purchase a Licence for every single ATI Radeon 5000's card to have GPU performance with its Stream Technologies®©.

This is a war like Blu-Ray or HD DVD. Nvidia CUDA®© Vs AMD OpenCL®©. And to top it all off. The wars betwen Microsoft Windows Vs Mac Vs Linux.

The Idea of Open Source is going towards Linux and to Top it off. As of June 2010, Microsoft Windows is grabbing 90 percent of all new PC's. All linkage will be below.

Adobe Picks CUDA and only has CS4 beta plugin Stream support
Built for Adobe Professionals - Adobe Creative Suite 5

ATi transitiopn/translation of CUDA to Its Stream OpenCL 1.0 (do not know of 1.1 yet)
OpenCL? and the ATI Stream SDK v2.0

OpenCL 1.1 Spec

Sony Bluray Wins
Blu-Ray wins, HD DVD loses. Probably. | Speeds and Feeds - CNET News

I just hope that all companies open there eyes and see both sides of the fence.

If anyone has linkage for Adobe CS5 Stream support or Plugin support for Adobe Creative Suite 5. I would have less of a headache.
