An old colleague of mine, when I worked at a linux distributor, put it like
this: "The good users are the ones who choose <x> because <x> is what they
want. Advertising support for old hardware is looking for trouble. What you
get from that is users whose hardware is too old or too halfbroken to run
windows. They're a support drain, and they're always telling others how <x>
doesn't work."
