A "high end Linux vendor" for laptops? Like what? And who would be that "somebody else", worrying about the drivers? Surely not the "high end Linux laptop vendor" --because, even though he would have basic stuff like the video card, wireles

Even Linus Torwalds used an iBook with OS X --he wrote his book in it. And at a time, he used a Powemac G5 as his desktop machine, although that one was running Linux ( http://news.cnet.com/Torvalds-switches-to-Apple/2100-1003_3-... ). No
