And as for what’s different, well apparently there are enough differences that Boot Camp doesn’t even work on all the machines:

Boot Camp, and with it the drivers, was still in beta. It's also apparently related to the myriad of problems Vista has had on many different systems, especially with the drivers.

Are you saying the QA guy should get multiple systems from every OEM and build thousands of DIY systems in hopes of covering every possible hardware situation?

No I’m saying Macs and PCs are different, and therefore need to be considered differently until proven, through testing, to work the same for your ap. This isn’t hard, if Macs and PCs weren’t different they wouldn’t be Macs and PCs, the whole Mac vs PC battle wouldn’t exist, there wouldn’t be two separate markets, then there wouldn’t need to be the testing. But they are different, and it needs to be tested before announcing the support. Really, anybody that’s worked in QA or support for a day understands this, it’s painfully simple.
