Again: nothing to do with specs and only related to Nouveau by checking for its existence.
It's very easy to understand.

That would surely be about Microsoft's relation to LibreOffice and SAMBA.

Answer me this *IF* a machine has nouveau drivers installed and loaded by the kernel and thus grabbing the hardware, how is the nvidia driver going to aquire control?
Where is my choice in using either nvidia drivers or nouveau. IF you don't want to use the nvidia drivers you don't want to BUT if a distro enables nouveau by default I don't have a choice.
I am looking at this from a dumb windows user who wants to try linux. Sure I could go in, blacklist the nouveau or recompile the kernel if it is built-in, but is a newbie? no.
Sure it would be great if nvidia opened the spec's to allow nouveau to provide better drivers but they havn't and to be fair nvidia drivers are good.
Also hte open spec for ati havn't really produced what the FOSS advocates fully wanted, last time I checked they couldn't handle glsl2 ... and even then hte top of the range ati cards are not supported by the foss drivers
