Newest hardware don't always have fully-functional and well-integrated Linux drivers on the day the new hardware is released.
This is mostly the hardware vendor's fault and it sucks.
What sucks even more is to write an article about that and blame Linux/Ubuntu user unfriendliness.
Moreover, I don't know ANY laptop system that ships with 8GB of hard drive (First-generation eeePC maybe?) and have a Wi-Fi chipset that does not work with the latest version of ubuntu or the one before. Maybe this article is talking about events that took place 2-3 years ago when eeePCs where new and had bad drivers?
That's why I call bullshit on this article and discard it as Microsoft Public Relations' Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt campaign.
