The reason is that Microsoft enjoys massive support from all of the box manufacturers. 
You don't think they write all those drivers themselves do you?

And for an operating system that's been around for four years, I'm rather

my machine.  This tells me that Microsoft is far from mastering hardware
compatibility issues (or good software design).
