You exaggerate. Windows drivers work well enough in Windows (or so I

I exaggerate nothing -- we have real world experience with ndiswrapper
and similar software, which is exactly the same model you proposed, is
exactly the same model that has created all sorts of technical, legal,
and political problems.
I agree that the legal and political problems are real. I offered two
solutions to the technical problems.
However the situation with video drivers is already bad, and
deteriorating. I had to hunt on the Internet to get my recent (FC4)
distro to support my low-end embedded video (via). In the future it
looks like even that won't work.
Dumb with a capital 'D'.
I hope you have a better solution.
