Welp... I'd say that Linux is the one that will gain more, but yes, I'm sure some people will go Apple too.

A lot of these issues may have to do with very outdated drivers or other unupdated software. WiFi, LAN, and audio drivers are very often overlooked and may be a couple of years old. Same with software, so many people don't update once installed, or have a bunch of crap software they don't need running that they think they do.

Mick is convinced that it only affects people with old drivers.
Arman, please state the date of your GPU driver, just to set things straight.

@Johnjacob, that's clearly astroturfing.
