Well, I for one, cannot imagine that MS is particularly happy about
wireless networks hardware support being written for their platform and
being used on linux machines. In essence, on of MS's key points against
linux - that of a lack of hardware support in Linux is hurt. I'm all for
using native drivers when they are available. But, in the case of
ndiswrapper, it fills a need. As we all know, if
you can fill a need that is currently not being filled, you get the
business.
