Right, except my Windows 98 drivers don't work with Windows 10 either... What's the point?

• AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y ago
  The point is that your Windows 10 drivers from a year ago still work with the Windows 10 update you did today. This is not true of Linux driver binaries.

    Yes, but that's also the reason why Linux has as much hardware support out of the box: because it forces drivers to be developed in-tree.

      Windows doesn’t actually come with a dirth of drivers out of the box and it keeps backward compatibility with drivers longer.
