Then why did they send me a Windows driver disc with the X4170 M2 we

Server install guide for the same system:

Because they are forced by Microsoft, if they do not want Microsoft to
impose them high prices on their "licenses" and customers would go away.
If they are "not willing" , it does not mean they are not forced to do.

There are also too many lousy admins considering MS Windows on servers.
It is also fertile ground for "software licenses" where Oracle plays
quite well for people never heard of Opensource and free software
systems that works better.
