    More drivers = more good

    , but I really would like the karmic justice of telling windows users to write their own kernels if they want them. Let them cook for a few years.

      Why is this karmic justice? How exactly have all Windows users offended you?

        How do you involve the users in there? My gripe is with the OS. And the special treatment it gets from the hardware’s driver developers.

    Is Valve releasing drivers not the definition of “official support”?

      Valve’s support team isn’t going to assist with troubleshooting a borked Windows installation, so no.

        So in order to have “official support” Valve has to hold your hand through installation?

    First off: why?

      I think this is another one of those things that sets Valve apart from the competition. I imagine the answer is: “because it’s what our customers want.”
