That's rich. I never said it had terrible support. I said...

"Linux can have a hard time with bad drivers."

The same goes for:
Windows 9x
Windows NT
Mac OS 9
Mac OS X
OPENSTEP
Be OS
Amiga
ReactOS
BSD UNIX
AT&T System V UNIX
SCO UNIX
Minix
VMS

Shall I continue?

Any OS can get a buggy driver, smart guy.

I'll stop responding to you since I don't feel like feeding the troll.

I have the 'right' to mispell?

I had no Idea that spelling was a right

My 'rents XP box downstairs that had started to BSOD more than it did before, do you know who I blame?

D-Link.

The only change I did was to add in a cheap-o wireless card from D-Link, with shitty, unsigned, drivers.

the box was rock solid, and up-to-date, after I added the card it was less stable, BSODing once every two weeks.

I un-installed the driver, removed the card.  Re-installed the driver and put the card back in.

It was fine.

for some reason, D-link made their drivers so you had to install them first, then physically install the card.  Incredibly stupid on D-Link's part, if you ask me.

I just installed service pack 2 on it, run great!

I'm liking it so far. The firewall doesn't go off as much as they say it does, but then, I don't use many network apps.

It's definitely more resilient. I did a few things that would kill the Explorer, and they no longer do :-D

I'm so happy!

LOL! I'm spreading FUD? FUD = Fear, uncertainy and doubt. As far as I know I'm not spreading any of the latter.

Anywho, I installed SP2 today and so far it is working well. Nice speed improvements, the firewall is doing a great job(I disabled my other firewalls to test it), some of my apps and games are running even better than they were before(they were already running well) and I've tried a few things that would normally crash explorer and they no longer crash it.

I do not like how it nags you if you disable automatic updates but that is ok. I'll just leave auto updates enabled until I figure out how to remove that nag baloon. I understand why they included that nagger though. Because most people do not manually update nor do the know how to manually update. MS is targeting the nags for the computer illiterates who are the most likely to have thier system unpatched making thier computers part of DOS attacks and/or the spreader of viruses/worms.

I can't say that SP2 sucks because of something designed to make the digital world safer by guiding the idiots.
