Langa bashing (was Re: Problems getting Linux into homes)

[Jeff Allison]

Langa is right on one point it is annoying when perfectly good hardware
that works on windows doesn't on Linux, but its 

1, a little difficult to fix due to the NDA's that have to be signed to
get the information.

2, The fact that most windows drivers aren't written by Microsoft, but
the manufacturer. Until they perceive a market they won't write them
(also a lot of the windows drivers are crap most stuff that is supported
by Linux works much better there).

3, Blaming Linux is the wrong person. Back to the tyre analogy if Dunlop
won't make tyres for Ford or provide them with the sizes so ford can
make wheels to fit then whose at fault not Ford

Just my 2 cents
