| What this means is that with windows being manufacturer specific every 
| different piece of hardware needs to have a new driver installed. With Linux 
| being chipset specific only different chipsets need to use different drivers. 
| This is why Linux advocates state that Linux supports more hardware out of 
| the box than what windows does. It also makes for a more stable and easy to 
| maintain system.
