Actually the graphics card support is better than Windows for me. My graphics card driver keeps crash under Windows 7 but for 9.10 Ubuntu, there is no problem (Rademon HD 5770)
Correction: Actually the graphics card support is better than Windows for me. One case study is not enough evidence to support your claim that overall their driver support is better.
But I'm v happy to hear this: i've struggled with my ATI graphics card the last 2 major versions of ubuntu (7.x i managed to get working after days of hacking around. Never got compiz working though. 8.x I got compiz running, but the general performance was so sluggish it was unusually).
