This (quite long) article has been written by me for two primary reasons: One, to hopefully save someone else the time and hassle associated with trying out various Linux distributions, and two, to promote some discussion and feedback regarding what a modern Linux distribution should be, and of course to contrast this with what is currently available. I am exploring the offerings of MS Windows, BeOS and MacOSX, and then taking on a number of well-known Linux distributions.

The fact that you say that Linux has better hardware support just shows your bias and the fact that no one should even bother reading your comment
No, he's right. Pound for pound, linux has support for more hardware than Windows XP. Windows XP probably has more support for new hardware specifically, but if you want to do a piece by piece count, there is no doubt in my mind that linux would win.
That is easy enough to see simply by looking at the number of platforms linux runs on.
