Let's be honest. Have you ever installed a driver for Linux? Do you know how hard it is? First you need to make sure you have all the kernel sources, then you need to make sure you have gcc and make installed, then you need to configure it, then you need to build it, then you need to build the install and a lot of the time the build process will go belly up and spit some errors at you.
Before you say I'm a "Windows fanboy" take another guess, I'm a Linux fanboy running Vista because Linux doesn't detect my RAID array. Go figure.
Also are you using the drivers on the disc? If so then I fail to see how you have any say in what OS is actually good.
