Why don't more hardware vendors see Linux as important? I know the first answer is they sell more windows laptops but we devs are willing to pay for high-end specs that normal people don't need, and aren't those more profitable? Maybe the relative numbers are just so much smaller for Linux it just doesn't matter.
