I find your statements at worst misleading and at best just repeating/
Updates. When to look for a driver yourself Even with automatic updates, you are still dependent on, to some extent, the manufacturers of your hardware. They are responsible for providing drivers to Microsoft to test and then distribute through Windows Update to millions of Windows Vista users worldwide. But not all manufacturers provide Microsoft with updated drivers, and some are slow to release them. If your hardware isn't working and you haven't received drivers through Windows Update, it's time to look for drivers on your own. First try installing any software that came with the device. If that doesn't work, then check the manufacturer's website. Most companies post drivers in the support section of their website, where you can search for drivers by product model. Once you find a driver you want to install, download it to your computer. Read any installation notes included with the driver. For instructions on how install a driver manually, see Update a driver for hardware that isn't working properly. If the manufacturer does not offer a Windows Vista driver for your device, you can try installing a Windows XP driver. In most cases, such a driver will be good enough to make your device function at a basic level, but it might not take advantage of all the new capabilities of Windows Vista. I think most would agree that you started here by condemning what others had said.
