This is my reaction to Tsu Dho Nimh's "Migrating to Linux not easy for Windows users" featured on Linuxworld.com recently. It's not a response, I'm not challenging his opinions, which I feel are not only valid, but mostly right, it's just a reaction.

The original article made reference to poor Linux support for supposedly widely available video hardware. Well, neither Windows ME nor XP had built-in support for my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4270 XDVD's Savage IX-MX chip. I was forced to struggle with standard VGA until I could download
drivers from s3graphics.com.
