I don't think that's the case. It's not that Windows itself supports more hardware, but the fact that drivers for said hardware are built only for Windows. It could even be seen as a vicious cicle: 1) HW manufacturers create drivers for Windows because It's more popular; 2) Users use Windows because "It Just Works (TM)" and so userbase grows; 3) goto 1
> Linux supports a lot of hardware but much of it not very well.
Hence I think Linux supports more HW but driver support isn't as good.
I get what you're saying though.

The '!gtranslate' bang does that
