Hrrm.  And again, Hrrm.  Of course, more realistically...after Kaori
installs....

"Hey, I can't connect to our wireless network.  What's wrong?"

"Well, Kaori, that's the manufacturer's fault.  They won't release the
drivers and Ubuntu only uses free software."

"Wait a minute.  You had me remove my Windows, now I can't connect to
the company network with the wireless card?"

"Yes, but with a bit of googling, we should be able to solve that.
Ubuntu has a wonderful user commu---"

"You broke my wireless?  Are you out of your mind???  What do I tell my
boss?  'Oh sorry, but you see, it's one of those manufacturers that
don't release their drivers...'"

However, the idea is nice.  :)
