How many HP or Dell users actually bother to use linux? honestly? most are business PC users that need word + excel + powerpoint... the box itself is an appliance that is serviced by Dell or IT, and you don't touch it... and it gets replaced once every 3 years... that is the business model for those sorts of companies... people who use linux in my experience mostly are running generic PCs... it would not be in the self interest of the component vendors (eg ASUS) to not be widely compatible... as long as linux users are a significant revenue source, they have nothing to fear...
now, one thing that I'd be interested in, now that Macs are basically PC's anyway, is trying to run osX on a PC... I've heard there are hacks... but, that is a case where it is reasonably well locked out!
