More to the point, there are a large body of users who expect the
hardware vendor to "just make things work", and if the hardware
vendor doesn't make things work they'll pick a different hardware
vendor. Now those users would like their hardware vendor to be
able to support choices other than Linux, but they have no desire
to become their own OEM and assemble the correct working set of
drivers.

So the question is whether hardware vendors are enabled to support
users who *want* a turnkey package to select Linux as their OS.
