“… you can’t do much in an alternative OS if you can’t get it

“The hardware industry is, by necessity or by choice, beholden
to Microsoft. It’s one thing to see an “Intel Inside” sticker on a
new machine, but when I see hardware labeled “Designed for
Windows 98” or “Windows 98-compatible”, a shiver of frustration
runs up my spine. Since when should hardware care what
operating system it’s working with?”
