"Building a hardware device that doesn't work for Windows would be an extremely poor business decision.

Dependson your definition of "working". There's plenty of hardware that supposedly work but are hampered by buggy drivers or by simply not being of very high quality. I've had quite a few items (examples: USB ethernet nic, USB wireless nic) that worked out of the box in Linux (and OpenBSD) but required me to go hunting for reasonably working drivers for Windows. "

I've had that happen too; I had it happen maybe three or four years ago, where my on-board gigabit ethernet worked in the Slackware of the day, but not Windows XP.
