Since you're so advanced, it should be little trouble for you to roll
an alternative package that doesn't have the HAL dependency. This
little rant of yours seems to have little basis in logic. As near as I
can tell the Linux HAL is much different and far more useful than
whatever MS Windows does.
You would have much more credibility in this thread if you provided
solid technical reasons why HAL is bad rather than stomping your feet
while saying "I don't like it!" Please provide a technical reason why
HAL is unacceptable.
