Despite what Digg looks like, the world pretty much ignores Linux users.

Belkin's really simple stuff like wires have worked, but anything else have generally been spotty in performance.

And by the way, in my opinion it is not ok for people to post reviews of products they never even had in their hands either.

I've never purchased a Belkin product that worked. Ever. I've bought a usb mouse, a monitor cable switcher (which I returned, only to get another non working one), and a usb hub. All were DOA.

Maybe we have a class action lawsuit on our hands. I look forward to my $2 coupon off future belkin purchases!

Linux is more up to date than any OS.

Still paying off. Windows users would have had to go through several hardware upgrades from the time I started using Linux just to have system that is still slow as hell. Plus, they probably had some piece of hardware that won't work, and never will work, with Vista.
