I think an even better example would be a comparison to Windows XP 64. Remember that one? You could buy it for under $100. Why? There were no drivers and when you checked with the hardware venders, they weren't going to build one! So, if you wanted to use it, you had to MAKE your own drivers.
(and THAT is the reason XP 64 died.
