Well of course that is because microsoft is a coervercive monopoly if the companies who made those things gave the information to unix developers so they could make compatable software/drivers, microsoft would ruin them.

Microsoft would never be where it is without lazy consumers. YEARS ago I was using Linux and tried to talk other people into it, my dad is a prime example. I told him how much more stable it was than Microsoft's OS's, yet he refused to try it because he didn't want to learn anything new - too much bother. Of course, the same man several years later was complaining about Microsloth in the same manner as you. I have used DR-Dos, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and OS2 on x86 platforms on my personal PCs - all superior to competing MS products. However, most consumers refuse to experiment, take bad performance as a given and will only use the OS that the manufacturer puts on their systems. You have to blame consumers more than MS, for MS wouldn't have the dominant market share if consumers were more intelligent, discriminating and demanded quality over hype and pre-packaging.

I figured out the workaround thing. I plan on switching to Linux but I don't have time right now.
