  If the original NT team had done windows update the option wouldn't be =
there
  if they couldn't do it right. But a point nobody has mentioned, is =
windows
  update driver support better than out of the box installation driver
  support? I can't count the times I not only couldn't use the drivers =
that
  came with windows but I couldn't even let windows install the driver =
and
  instead had to use the OEM's install routine.

  Geo. (I'm with Rich on this one, it's the people writing the drivers =
and
  making the hardware that I blame)
