Well, no, because this is about drivers not apps.  Crap drivers on any
platform are going to create havoc.

It's more of an advertisement for their driver "certification"
process.  It's a message to driver developers:  "pay us a boatload of
money for your driver to be certified, or we'll make it look like your
software is shonky so people will go buy hardware from someone else".
