The driver problem perhaps could be disrupted. Suppose during installation you had the opportunity to pay the driver vendor directly for installing the driver- in other words, the disruption came because we let go of some of the "free" requirements, and came to do business directly with the sources of our tech. This would be disruptive in that it would reduce the stranglehold the Microsoft is able to exert over the OEMs. Akin to selling cars directly to consumers, there would be an upside for the driver vendors that they may get behind. So HNBuntu isn't "free"- it costs $15 to install on your system. Perhaps the install has a fallback to the 'free' mode (for secondary devices, etc.)
