Windows usually gets blamed for a 3rd party app crashing or giving you hell.
By itself Windows 7 is ok, nothing special, but at 10GB minimum install you don't get much. Most people still just want to run some programs and surf the net. Also add the necessary security to prevent viruses and a system crash. 10GB???

I've never had a problem with wifi drivers. I've had asus wifi on PCI card and Atheros wifi.
For add ons like phones and bluetooth, if you hunt around you might find a beta version of the driver.

I'm nuts on KDE, its much better than Windows for utilities, office stuff and surfing. Unfortunately there is no way to play Direct X games. I'm just going to keep a second hard drive with Windows 7 on it.
I read they were doing Direct X on Linux, but not much news yet.

Try several versions of Linux before you give up. Sometimes the compatibility is lost in one version. Start from a fully formatted hard drive too. Also check the options in the bios. You might to need change the silliest little thing in the bios to get it to install.

People were trying to be constructive, while a certain individual wanted to just complain.
Some people are completely happy with Linux as an OS. With an mp3 player and browser it does everything they need. It is a small amount compared to the Windows bandwagon. They do not have the claimed trouble with Linux.
I certainly have had incompatible hardware with Windows or else had to wait a year for an updated driver.
btw How long do you end up waiting for an Amiga driver to be released?
