Yeah, but we are adding new device drivers to the kernel source tree that don't eat RAM on everyone's system -- on Win95, the device drivers aren't part of the kernel, at least not as many of them. I think adding more device drivers is a good idea because it kills the "well win95 supports my frame grabber!" type of anti-linux arguments.
