We're just ahead of the curve. Windows doesnt use 90% of ACPI ATM. Intel
provided a full ACPI interpretation implementation and we support most of
the devices and features.  Linux uses the same implementation and has the
same bugs, so hopefully the combined force can convince hardware makers to
at least test their DSDTs.
