There is no time for all this in tight production schedules. Internet is not always available and at high speeds. What would be more penetrative is that Suse or Fedora or all such ones in India set up labs for testing and provide a set of drivers for every new hardware ( mobos and others) that comes into the market. They need not give it free. A small charge of Rs. 500/- for the distro and the driver set per mobo can be very attractive compared to Rs. 3700/- for XP home. The driver installation should be an automated script that simply needs to be double clicked.
You are contradicting yourself here. On one hand you are talking about tight production schedules and on the other you are talking about XP Home. I don't know anyone who uses crippled XP Home on production machines. People should shoot themselves in the head before attempting anything like this.
Linux need not be as complex as its meant to be. Its just an OS.
Stop perpetuating myths. Linux supports more hardware today "out-of-the-box" than any other OS out there. Don't believe me. Listen to Greg Knoah-Hartman. http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/ols_2006_keynote.html -- Vinayak -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
