Uhm, it is a problem I have had to deal with on occasion. It is a problem that I've seen other Linux users deal with regularly. I have a non-techie friend who uses Linux and she calls me about every 3rd kernel update because some driver got messed up and there is no easy solution. It is a problem if someone wants to switch to Linux and suddenly some hardware is not working properly or at all. The fact that OSX and Vista have the same problem does not mean that it's not a problem. In fact, driver trouble is one of the main reasons that Vista turned into a big failure. But that's not really even the point. The point is that they are problems. You might have run into different ones, but whatever, they're definitely there and this attitude that if anything goes wrong it's the users fault and if people would just be more open minded and get rid of their Windows preconception everything would be totally fine is not helping.
