I assumed, since you are writing to a Fedora newsgroup/mailing list,
that you were talking about using closed drivers under Fedora.
If you are talking about Windows drivers under Windows OS
I don't really see the relevance.
The relevance is that the Linux faithful like to regurgitate the lines
about how stable interfaces and binary drivers can't work when in fact
they work just fine and the majority of the world runs on them taking
advantage of the vendor's expertise and desire for a competitive
advantage. Just a reality check...
They do?
http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_os.asp puts Linux at 3%.
Somewhere I thought I saw that current sales were around 8% Mac compared
to the overall 3.8% though.
Most people here are trying to explain FOSS to you...
The issue has nothing to do with open source, which in general co-exists
nicely with proprietary software.
