Hi all,

This would really interest me as well. I was forced to put linux on the 
laptop for the time being so that I could use the wireless. Even with 
that I had a small struggle. Is this Microsoft doing a old boys network 
with the hardware vendors, or is it just that the hardware vendors are 
too lazy to support open source? On another machine I had to fight with 
the bloody ATI video card. Does not seem fair, I am sure that there are 
more and more Freebsd and linux desktop users out there, why can't the 
vendors just give us a choice.

cheers
