[Issue] Hardware support [MS Windows] Generally good. I never managed to get bluetooth working, and getting the PC and my phone to talk through a cable was hassle, trying to find drivers/software. Adding new devices can be rather hit and miss, with the problems of finding the right website->page->download needed. [Ubuntu] 
When a device is supported in the kernel it’s usually seamless. When not in the kernel, it can be as much hassle as Windows. I got Bluetooth operational, although it was horribly slow – I suspect that’s just the format. There are still lots of gaps in consumer hardware support (I expect recent moves from Intel and Dell will help close these gaps)
