This is my reaction to Tsu Dho Nimh's "Migrating to Linux not easy for Windows users" featured on Linuxworld.com recently. It's not a response, I'm not challenging his opinions, which I feel are not only valid, but mostly right, it's just a reaction.

cheezwog: The NVidia drivers is one example. This is unnacceptable, but very hard to avoid unless NVidia are prepared to open source their drivers, provide detailed specs, or can be persuaded to write a better installer.
Why should they provide open source drivers? why shouldnt linux provide a standart way to use binary drivers, instead of making it intentionally difficult because of political reasons (proprietary is bad and all that blah blah blah), if it works with windows and osx why can't it work on linux.
