Yamauchi at OSNews don't think so and has writen a piece that list a number of issues that needs to be solved before Windows is really ready for the masses and "Joe Longkneck"."

    If

    1. The monitor supports DDC (All modern monitors except for the most crappy OEM models do) and
    2. The Linux distribution in question runs XFree86 4.0 or higher (all 2001 and later distros do),
    Then Joe User will have no problems running his new monitor at all.

    Please be so kind as to take your stale FUD elsewhere.
