Off-topic, but incorrect.  Nvidia's binary drivers for Linux are more highly 
regarded than ATI's, but ATI has had them available for a while now.  Prior to 
that (up to the Radeon 8500), they contributed the source code to projects such as 
XFree86 and DRI to make drivers available.

OS/2 is still a lot closer to Windows NT than Unix.

Completely irrelevant when it comes to binary only drivers.
