I think in many cases you'll find the built-in MS driver is actually the vendor reference driver...

Then again, a lot of devices have drivers "built in" in Windows and you don't really need a driver. Now, whether that's an issue with Microsoft taking over the driver side of things (much like Apple) or whether it's pure laziness / cheapness on the part of the hardware manufacturer is debatable. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Scott [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, June 05, 2009 4:44 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: My OS is better than your OS [snip] > Why is that not the vendors' fault for getting them out within a reasonable time frame? It's interesting. Whenever somebody tries Linux, and it lacks a driver for something, that's a problem with Linux. But when Vista doesn't have a driver for something, that's the hardware manufacture's fault. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
