MJG, Your article says ACPI is good but only appears to give hypothetical examples e.g. "new type of power controller". Can you please provide a real world example of a when new hardware was released to the public between 1998 and 2010, and ACPI saved the day.... Windows / Linux didn't need new drivers to control it. May I repeat, please provide a real world example of new hardware.
When you have nominated a specific real world example, I look forward to responding with further questions.
