nVidia released less information to create free drivers than ATI. Their 
binary-only drivers are probably good but what about other architectures, 
what if nVidia stops supporting the chipset you have on your card with 
drivers for newer versions of X? How about running a kernel without 
binary-only drivers?

Why can't nVidia release documentation for older chipsets?

And who needs the newer graphics oven anyway ;)
