so Linux offers decent drivers but quite possibly Microsoft and/or Asus would not.
Basically, yes. The problem is that they keep coming out with new chips for all the internals. (Ethernet? Wifi? They've been making those with the same capabilities for how many years, why do they need a new chip? But I digress.) Then they don't bother making drivers for the new stuff for older versions of Windows. If you really want Win7 and that machine, you could find out exactly what hardware it has and try to find drivers before buying.
Or you could install Linux, and run Windoze in Virtualbox.
