MBReview.com reviewed Windows Vista, and concluded: "Overall, my first impressions of Vista, and specifically Vista Ultimate, are quite good. I had few problems moving over hardware and software, other than issues of driver support by manufacturers. This is an extremely annoying issue and I'm sure I'm not alone in my distaste for such lack of driver support. The new Aero interface is gorgeous and is one of the big reasons I have moved over to Vista on my main system. It has it's quirks like anything, but it is a big improvement from WindowsXP. Thus far, I'm impressed."

Why blame Microsoft? they don't write the drivers;
You and I know that, and I'm sure that ormandj knows this, too. But the primary purpose of an OS is to provide applications with access to the hardware. If it can't do this reliably, than from the user's perspective, the OS is faulty.
For comparison's sake, people always say that "Linux doesn't support my graphics card by default, and the proprietary drivers suck." In theory, this is really the graphics vendor's fault for not adequately supporting Linux. But in reality, it's Linux that isn't providing the hardware support that the user needs.
Place the blame one whomever you wish, but for the user, the buck stops at the OS vendor.
