Is Linux really at fault?

There are so many differences out there in computers, configurations,
hardware and software. Can Linux be compatible with every single PC
setup out there? Can Microsoft? Has anyones seen the number of posts
each day on MS Office or any other large programs? I've seen thousands
in one day!!!!!!

Personally, any problem I have ever had with Linux could eventually be
traced to my own PC system's compatibility. I don't think Linux is
ready for prime time for just that reason, and it may never be! Maybe
they should be researching compatibility issues before dumping
something out to the public,
