I never said that Microsoft's winders drivers were worth the bits they use.
MS, on the windows side, can't write clean code the first time with a gun at
their head, (the Mac unit is a different situation here), But it's also
idiotic to force driver writers to now have to deal with whatever windowing
system that NS/Moz has come up with. If the driver works correctly with the
windowing system used by that OS, and works correctly with the the OS
windows, then the driver has done it's job. If an application writer wants
to reinvent the wheel, then any driver issues caused by that desire is the
APP vendor's problem.
