Yeah let me know how well Windows is doing with Azure, servers, security, customizability, phones..etc. Windows literally has two things, business and games. Business doesn't need Windows when everything is in the cloud and games are moving to cross platform at a drastic rate, being pushed by the largest unified platform out there and one of the most common engines. Windows master race...lol. Between Mac and gnu/linux, Windows is going to have a very tough time going forward as they don't currently offer a
You forgot that Windows has developers, developers,...
These 'Windows developers' don't actually work for Microsoft though, do they? At least not the ones for hardware drivers. Manufacturers always have to insure their hardware (whether it's a printer, audio, graphics, etc.) works with Windows and the burden is on them to provide the software. Or have things changed in the last few years?
Nobody wants to deal with open sourcing drivers because you guys will never be happy. Something will always be wrong and cause complaints. And for what, the 0.00003% of their customers? As a business it doesn't make sense to devote time and resources to a project that only a handful of people will ever care about.

Big Linux user for years. Nvidia only since before AMD bought them. Always use the binary driver and am totally happy. I do not use Linux for religious reasons. I use it because it works better. The Nvidia binary driver works better.

OS/X, sure. For me, Mac hardware, not so much. Generally when a new Mac comes out it's already behind the curve... and then the go and cripple them by making them non-upgradable. Hell, aren't they even GLUING the Macbooks together now making them unserviceable? Between that, the chicklet keyboard, and the one-button touchpad (ugh! Don't suggest multitouch as a workaround), and you've completely lost me.

Perhaps this will change with technologies like Electron that minimize platform differences.
