I think that hardware vendors would make more capital by opening up
specs for people to use their devices on whatever OS that they prefer.
I won't touch nvidia based products because of the hassles with always
needing to recompile things, time after time. This means no capital from
me. Others will put up with the excessive headaches with binary drivers.
A similar problem with breakage, which repels me from the hardware, is
with the 3com NICs. I doubt that I'd get another 3com nic, since two
were shot down, in a short difference in time.
With the latest breakage, nothing gets it working again.
