How would you handle diffrent version of drivers for the same hardware? I have multiple drivers for Intel chipset, and I dont always upgrade the driver version for older computers, cause "if it aint broke why fix it" Sometimes you got X computers with the same hardware but diffrent software versions that requires diffrent version of the driver. Seems to remember we had the problem ages ago with some controler stuff.
