The truly ironic part is that the current NVidia binary blob driver that
everybody dislikes so much *IS* the "Windows equivalent" driver (in
fact, it's the same driver, with a Linux shim layer wrapped around it).

You can flame them for having a non-GPL binary blob, but you can't flame
NVidia for not having equivalent drivers...
