*Patch Submission*

One of the biggest advantages Microsoft has had is the installed user
base. People had XP, liked XP and understood XP.  It is hard to compete
with that, and now that Microsoft is having to compete with XP it is
having major issues.  But remember that Microsoft is a marketing company
first, so we should learn from them.

In an article on The Register
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/07/08/vista_lies_fightback/ there was
a reference to an HCL for Vista.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/  It is easy to navigate
and very well done.  But why can't we do it better?  With a Canonical
sponsored site, tied into Launchpad log ins, hardware can be added by
many people along with work-arounds for bad hardware.  Software can also
be listed with native ports, FOSS replacements or WINE compatibility.

Best yet, with the FOSS community contributing, is will be more complete
than Microsoft could ever do, and work to shame some hardware
manufactures.
