Oops, our brand new SuSE user has bought 10.1, and has no wifi support on the DVD How many think our brand new SuSE user will simply toss his package into the trash, and dash off to buy <the operating system from Redmond>, which he knows from all his friends will support his nifty new wireless card, right out of the box?
Native driver support in Windows is very poor compared to Linux, the only difference is that if you buy a peripheral it'll come with a Windows driver CD. It's not fair to blame Linux for a lack of drivers when more often then not when you install it it'll support all your hardware from the off whereas you'll need driver disks for each device to get Windows to do the same.
