The smell of newly purchased stuff... So, there I was, Hauppauge WinTV board in hand, Mandrake 10 installed and ready to rock! Little did I expect that it would come to this. But first things first.

>You getting my drift?
Not really, I think you are an exception to the rule, if you weren't we'd have seen a significant shift in the user base which we havn't, if anything the opposite appear to be the case if you examine Google stats.
I've never experienced any of the problems you mention and I've been using Win since 3.1. I've never had a device not work and I've gone through 7+ machines and lord knows how many at work (devices ranging from faltbeds, cameras, webcams, tv cards etc). We do have a linux machine at work (to support a single user of our software) and most of our developers hate it because it takes so much time to get anything done on it (hence more dollars to support). When there are deadlines to meet the linux box always holds us up.
As for lack of applications, it is true that out of the box Windows can seem sparse compared to linux, but the number of possible downloads dwafts what's available under Linux.
