The same can be said of Windows drivers. I can't use my Creative sound card in Windows 7 x64 because it randomly just stops working. It may work fine for a day or a week but it will eventually screw up, no matter which driver I use. My Nvidia drivers would always crash on me in Windows also. The dreaded 'The display driver has stopped working and has restarted' message hit several times a day on some days. In my case, my Linux drivers all work beautifully. I am running the latest Nvidia drivers without a single crash. It also worked on 2 previous versions.
On topic: I don't think this is widespread in any way or there would be much more backlash about it.
