> I find that closed-source Windows drivers have a much longer shelf-life than their Linux equivalents. Just to be clear, if you mean kernel drivers I find this -very- difficult to believe. There are linux kernel drivers I'd love to see die that will never die. If you're talking about 'downloads from some guys website', you may have a viable example but this is not the common case. Code lasts -way- too long. For example the ISA BUS is still supported, aint no win10 drivers for ISA soundcards.
