As a Linux user, I have had issues with different hardware and
software in Linux.
Here is a pro-windows article based on problems of installing Linux
and sound card issues.
Langa Letter: Linux's Achilles' Heel.

I will admit that I had no problems installing FC 1 on my new computer
and it recognizing the sound card. I haven't been able to get ALSA
working yet though. :(
As the issues with Video cards and hardware not being supported by
manufacturers or allowing their "closed source" drivers from being
distributed with Linux will be a stumbling block for Linux in the home.
