If I had a nickel for every time that was patently false.

Sure, flash drives work easily enough, but any other piece of hardware 
usually requires you follow a specific sequence before you even plug the 
device in. Otherwise, Windows (not sure how this works on other 
platforms) will do magically bad things, such as install a persistent 
incorrect driver that takes several steps and a few sacrificed chickens 
to remove.
