This is true.  And it should be made better.

But . . . it's really not possible to never have problems.  There's too
darn much varient hadware out there, and exhaustive testing is
impossible.

[FWIW, I've had the Win95 ok / Win98 won't install on THREE of the
FOUR computers I've tried it on that weren't originally shipped with
win98--a 75% failure rate.  This is an incredibly terrible record. 
Linux is way better than that.  I've had 0% failure rate on a machine
that worked with a prior version of the same distribution for Linux.  I
admit that this experience is probably an extreme, but I suggest that
yours is, too, albiet in the opposite direction.]
