Windows 7 has been out and about for little over a week now, and as it turns out, Microsoft's new baby is doing relatively well. That is, according to the figures by NetApplications: Windows 7 already reached the 3% mark this weekend, and is already closing in on the 4% mark.

I have two ATI Radeon 3850's in SLI. I get my drivers from Windows Update. I have had to disable the sound output on the DVI ports (which I'm not using), otherwise many D3D games crash. Additionally, the machine is incapable of resuming from hibernation: I get corrupted displays and eventual kernel implosion. So, I have a Vista install, and the drivers shipped with it cause application failures and kernel crashes.
You are simply flat-out wrong. You're accusing Linux of being a horrible operating system for having a flaw that Windwos has too -- namely, that bad drivers can crash it. In the real Goddamned world, Windows is every bit as succeptable to poorly-implemented drivers as Linux is/
