"Linux users always lagging in new hardware support behind the
Windoze/Appil, what a joke that Linux be.."
The Takuya Saitoh fuckwitted troll showing itself to be the idiot it is.
Linux distros had 64-bit systems *two* years before M$ thought about it,
& even when M$ released their 64-bit windoze, it didn't have many 64-bit
apps to use.
