Microsoft is planning to ship its next major version of Windows - known internally as version '7' - within roughly three years, CNET News.com has learned. The company discussed Windows 7 on Thursday at a conference for its field sales force in Orlando, Fla., according to sources close to the company. While the company provided few details, Windows 7, the next client version of the operating system, will be among the steps taken by Microsoft to establish a more predictable release schedule, according to sources. The company plans a more 'iterative' process of information disclosure to business customers and partners, sources said.

It does not matter if it is Microsoft's fault or not. If there are no drivers, then there are no drivers.
Linux was in a "not at fault" position for many drivers for quite a while some years ago ... but still some people did not try Linux because there were no drivers ... Linux's fault or not.
I hope you're not suggesting that Linux has more drivers than Windows has...
As many of us already do, choose your sistem then look for hardware for which drivers are provided, then buy a machine for which ALL drivers are released and stable 64bit. It goes like this since DOS era, will work for all of us.

Of course I wouldn't suggest that ... I would flat-out state it.
It is a given. Every time you try to install Windows, you will have to go and search for drivers from another source far more often than any time you install Linux.
That is the plain fact. A Linux distribution install disk comes with far more drivers than any Windows OS disk comes with.
