   All previous implementations were on hardware that DEC/Compaq/HP   
   controlled. Not any more. Now they have to work on already-existing   
   hardware, that conforms to standards they don’t control.   
      
   So yes, the job of creating drivers conforming to their own proprietary   
   API for all that hardware would be quite huge.   
      
   And it should have been avoided.
