You mean, like the VMware drivers for Windows?

Great. You quoted the relevant part of the article. Now [more] people aren't going to read the whole article.

You sure you didn't forget to hit NumLock?NVidia drivers pretty much install themselves and now recompile on kernel upgrades. WiFi drivers work out of the box if you do one minute of googling and buy a system with a supported Wifi chip so you wont have to do ndiswrapper later."Linux is far from perfect and until you can buy software off the shelf"Repositories. Even better than having to go buy software off the shelf. "or hardware and it works great out of the box and has drivers/software in the box too for the OS"You just hit on the major shortcoming for Windows. Very few internal drivers, all drivers come from the manufacturer and if they don't happen to work or don't happen to install correctly... well... \o/Ever try to get AHCI on Windows XP AFTER an install? "Oh, don't' forget the many different distros that even then don't' work with each other."Not even sure what that means

Hell yeah, wheel that s**t right into the middle of the city. Will throw a huge party and get drunk to celebrate!

This was the first thing I thought. Many more eyes will see this code than your average kernel patch.
