While I agree to some degree with what you said, it always could be worse.
Sure, NVidia is clearly not the best example for a Linux friendly company,
but then they are also not the worst. Just have a look at Promise, another
market leader. They don't do nothing to support Linux, or do you know of
anyone who's successfully using one of their RAID cards? I don't. Or have
a look at Kodak's digital cameras. There's also not much support from them.
Or think about all these parallel port scanners. Do any actually work?
In my opinion your judgement against NVidia is too harsh.
