simply do not support it. As long as they are users of Fedora (as well as 
FreeBSD and other FREE software) there will be hardware available.

Possibly the right time for non-wintel hardware to emerge. it isn't 
already better and cheaper only because of economy of scale - PCs are 
still produced by millions. But less and less, PC market is already 
falling.
