Not to mention motherboard chipsets.  The only real difference is that most
manufacturers send a disk/cd with windows drivers along with the hardware.
This leads to the chicken/egg argument.  Linux isn't ready for the
mainstream because there aren't drivers and there aren't drivers because
linux isn't mainstream.....  

An actual damning argument would be that despite good drivers, linux can't
take advantage of the hardware.  Unfortunately for the MS advocates, this
isn't the case.  In fact, the opposite is true, despite limited vendor
provided drivers, linux supports most hardware as well, and in some cases
better than windows.
