Linux doesn't work poorly, its developers simply don't have the 
resources to support all hardware by themselves.

Windows should support, because such hardware is made for them and come 
with Windows drivers and even a seal of Windows compatibility... yeah, 
the hardware manufacturers are to blame.

That's the difference between Windows and Linux:  one has to beg 
manufacturers do their job right, the other actively works hard to make 
unsupported hardware eventually working.

On the plus side, my Olympus digital camera connects just fine to Linux 
without requiring the CD with the Windows driver...
