@kevin @aral it's the pro and other support level stuff I think

@kevin @aral There's always a tension between widespread acceptance and not replicating MS' flaws. My feeling is that the more Linux looks like MS in certain characteristics, the more hardware is supported out of the box. The biggest barrier to using Linux is still the driver/kernel shenanigans you have to do.

@aral inevitable for anything that wants to have out-of-the-box device support for any reasonable number of laptops etc with dodgy closed hardware
