Hey,
Do you know how GSM mobile phones became an international standard? The
Nordic countries (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland and Finland) agreed on
a common standard for mobile phone communications. The Nordic countries
don't have the largest populations of any countries in the world, nor
GNU/Linux hasn't gained the critical mass required to meet this challenge as
well as MS. Most components work, though. Most modern video cards are
supported, for example.
Isn't this the same for any OS? MS rely on hardware manufacturers writing
drivers for Windows. True, they don't have to lobby
