   There is a lot of truth in your statement, with one exception.   
   I work with Linux too.  I have come across some really poor   
   equipment before that had issue running Windows and that   
   run flawlessly on Linux.   
      
   On one instance, a windows computer got tossed into a dumpster   
   after a thief stole it from my customer.  It refused to reinstall   
   or run Windows after that.  I installed Fedora on it and   
   it ran flawlessly as a server for over five years.   
      
   So, although there is some truth in what you say about   
   hardware control, most of Microsoft's problem are of   
   their own creation and not the hardware.  It is a   
   marketing excuse to cover for bad software.   
      
   That being said, I have been doing computer consulting   
   for 29 years now and have only seen two pieces of   
   bad Apple hardware.
