It seems to me that a lot of attention lately in the commercial Linux development area has concentrated on either large enterprise customers, or wooing the home user who can barely turn a computer on. Even distros claiming to offer the perfect solution for both ends of the spectrum don't quite seem to fit what I am looking for.

I have <random_usb_device> and I plug it into my computer that runs <some_OS> and I need to install a driver for it. So, <some_OS> gets -1
But what if in the previous exampel <some_OS> is replaced by <ANY_OS>, and you still need a driver. Does it mean that <ANY_OS> gets -1? The whole universal set of operating systems that support USB get a big fat -1, because of <random_usb_device>
In htis day and age, drivers are mostly downloaded from the internet, or come on the CD that came with the hardware device.It's not reasonable to think that an OS has bundled the drivers for all hardwre devices, past and expecially future.
I have never tried Lindows, but from the review, if you disregard the author's own opinion, it seems a really user-friendly OS.
