| The problem is linux only works for a small percentage, Windows will work for everyone. I wish I could use strictly linux, due to the advantages it has over Windows, but it is just not possible 75% of the time. The 25% of the time I am able to run linux I do enjoy it a little more though.
The true linux faithful that believe everything they run should be free and open will have to slack up a bit for linux to see any room for improvement. They don't have to run any closed source software, but they shouldn't be making it harder for me to do so.
They complained about nvidia's closed source blob and even went as far as saying they could improve or fix it if they had the source code. Then ATI gave an open source driver to the linux world. It still sucks and now they just complain ATI won't fix it. If you are in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation I couldn't see putting in the extra work..
