Hardware is not the same for long.
Vendors are so shit scared of the big bully that they will blame problems on anything but the beast of redmond.
The statement meant that new h/w keeps coming up every few weeks or months and by the time one gets the time to experiment and finalise the drivers, a new h/w upgrade is out.
The experimenting should be done by the big Linux distro makers and provide a set of OS and driver CDs for a reasonable price.
Alternatively, the distro makers could have a section on their website called "Build your own PC" where they provide full processor+mobo+peripherial combinations that can be purchased from the local market and atleast these hardwares should be fully detected by the distro itself without extra driver support or provide the updated drivers on their own website as a package.
