Nah, wouldn't cost 'em a penny. Because it would happen to most of the
industry overnight, so everybody'd be used to it.
Also, most folks would have no idea that the drivers were on disk until they
opened the box.
Total non-issue. It'd just make Microsoft look bad; wouldn't affect Linux
at all.
In fact, some companies might very well think "hmm, if I gotta include a
disk anyway, might as well stick that Linux driver on there as well."
