But legacy hardware support doesn't improve in OS X. Try upgrading your PowerPC-based machine to Lion.

Now try running Linux 3.0rc on, let's say, an aging SPARC 5 workstation. Just Works.

You're right, there are examples, probably many where you will show linux supports hardware better than osx or windoze.

But hey, I use linux for the last two years for all my desktop computing (and more for servers). I love it and find it superior to windows. Except my bluetooth doesn't work: and it did with windows.

C'est la vie, I guess...
