Tell that to my (lack of) graphics drivers. You can say its political but as it stands its no where near apples to apples in terms of what Windows supports vs what Linux supports.
Which video card do you have that lacks drivers for Linux? Or do you need fully open source drivers that fully support 3D acceleration and computation?
And yet somehow Linux manages to run on a greater variety of hardware than Windows does.
I am of course including supercomputers, embedded hardware, and hand-held phones. Admittedly Windows has greater support for is running consumer hardware for desktops. But that has to do with how small the Linux marketshare is. And is hardly an indictment of Linus' work.
