Well, maybe that's valid for completely free distros, but considering that  
Windows drivers and firmware are nonfree as just as some Linux drivers and  
firmware are, I don't think Windows has a significant hardware support  
advantage over GNU/Linux distros that use mainline Linux and don't have any  
policy against including nonfree software (e.g. Ubuntu and Linux Mint). Of  
course, the hardware can stop working with a future update, but the same is  
possible if you do a major upgrade of Windows; the major difference is that  
people don't tend to do major Windows upgrades that often.
