If the hardware manufacturers will not provide drivers, or documentation
in order to allow drivers to be developed, in what way is it Linux'
fault that that hardware will not work under Linux?

Why have Microsoft got them, if Linux haven't? Because they make the
effort.

"If the hardware manufacturers will not provide drivers,"
M$ don't make the drivers, the /hardware manufacturers/ do.

Its much more complicated than that, particularly with the
generic hardware like hard drives and many USB devices.

THEY provide M$ with the drivers FFS.

Not always.

M$ don't make /any/ effort.

Wrong. Even with stuff like printers MS does have generic drivers.
