* I've had several cases where Win 95 and Win 98 didn't accept different sound cards. It has less to do with Windows currently supporting "every soundcard" and more to do with every soundcard manufacturer supporting the Windows platform standard. Don't give MS credit where it's not due.
* The fact that he tried several different distros rather than trying one and just tinkering with it shows exactly how much credit his "research" has.
Someone should pickup an old soundcard made for Win 3.11 and try to get it working with Win XP. When it doesn't work or work correctly - as I expect plenty won't - write the same article for the Windows platform.
If you're going to attack Linux, do it correctly. Aim at Linux's learning curve; where the "researcher" fell short at.
