The Windows drivers come in the software that comes with the hardware.
Thats not the point of the article, its what drivers come with the OS

So Ubuntu comes with drivers for almost all peripherals??
Of coarse it doesn't, the same can be said about XP and Vista.

Could you run Photo Shop with Ubuntu, with out Wine?
You sure can, I do it all the time I run PCLinuxOS with VirtualBox. Desktop #1 is PCLOS, Desktop #2 is full blown XP or Vista. I surf the net in Linux and listen to music on Windows Media Player (or iTunes) at the same time, or listen to music in Amarok (Linux MP) and edit photo's in Vista with PhotoShop

You can do the same in XP-Vista with VMware and run Linux as the guest OS.

I have VirtualBox setup in seamless mode, http://www.raiden.net/?cat=2&aid=373
