Well, it does, kinda. Dereck probably meant that the problem is specifically
Broadcom's reticence on releasing open-source drivers for its wireless
cards, which has to do with Microsoft's massive clout compared to our
homegrown operation (though we have something that Microsoft does not, which
is a massive army of enthusiastic volunteers). Because Broadcom sees PCs as
being "Windows" and nothing else, they don't see Linux as a market worth
serving (if they see it at all). We must change that... part of that is
politely asking Broadcom to serve a leading-edge niche market, and part of
that is making Ubuntu so good that not even Microsoft's incumbency can stop
it.
