Interesting... I'm using NVidia drivers on all my Linux machines at home, Turboprint print drivers, etc. with no problem. As far as the drivers being part of the kernel, at least Linux users don't have to search for drivers after the install, as a Windows user has to do. Linux and Windows install in about the same amount of time, but the Linux install is productive immediately. Many productive software packages are installed as part of the initial install. The Windows install has to have a multitude of drivers installed, THEN one has to buy and install any software they want to use. I'll take Linux anytime.
