For most users, it is. Most users want to plug their stuff in and have it work. They dont want to have to download drivers, compile them, and possibly do a kernel rebuild... Hell, most people dont know what any of those are. For them, Windows works fine. XPs autodetect, while a pain in the ass for many powerusers, is incredible for the average user--plug something in, and it just *works*.

Personally, I use Windows less and less everyday, but Im not your average computer user, neither are most of the people on this board.
