It could be useful even for the Redmond faithful. Any hardware that's
working well under Linux should benefit from that fact even in the Windows
drivers. Such hardware will likely be less OS dependent and less prone to make
gratutious hooks into the OS to work. It will likely be more standard and more
prone to use wider vendor standards.
Avoiding "Win" devices isn't just a benefit to Linux users.
