Remember that x86 is not exactly an “open standard”--it is very much 
controlled by proprietary vendors who never cease their search for that 
vendor-lock-in edge.

Just because you have been pampered by the ongoing efforts of OS 
developers in the Linux community and elsewhere to ensure that things 
“just work” doesn’t mean it’s something you can take for granted.
