"Its the OEMs fault" is the exact same response you get whenever you point out that poor quality drivers (or lack thereof) crash and burn Windows 7.


Apples and oranges.

We're comparing default installations, without added software. You will NOT find crappy drivers included in the default install of Windows 7 in the same way this crappy Intel driver is included in Ubuntu. And, we still haven't pinpointed this problem to the Intel driver - other distributions do not seem to have issues, only Ubuntu, so it might be something else.
