You're forgetting that we're talking about gaming cards here. If PhysX will dominate the gaming market, then it doesn't matter if it's Windows or Linux.
And about open-ness: ATI Catalyst is NOT open! Just because something runs on Linux doesn't mean it's open. And not everyone cares about open-ness; you speak for yourself.
PS:
And what's so exciting about opencl if the gaming industry ain't gonna use it? I didn't buy an expensive gaming GPU to run OpenGL screensavers on it. I bought it to play the latest high-tech games. And AMD has let me down here, because PhysX is part of the high-tech. Again: "NVidia: The Way it's Meant to be Played."
