Whilst I agree with you to an extent, nVidia is not an example that I would want other manufacturers to follow - frankly, thay are shocking and I will not buy their products. Their binary only drivers are a royal, undocumented pita. Their half-ass efforts at appeasing Linux users is pathetic.

Anyhow, on the non-technical side - I personally don't like this idea. If there is a product (that you pay for) that works seamlessly with all windows drivers, then there is no incentive for HW manufacturers to provide any (there is little incentive now, as the market share is low & OSS people tend to hack up free drivers anyway). But, honestly it isn't that difficult to have drivers run on many Oses, it's really just a matter of different function names most of the time. nVidia do it, why can't everyone else?
