Well... alright.  After having read all the replies here, I guess I know
when I'm beaten...  I suppose that if you're not part of the solution, you're
part of the problem, but in this case, we are definitely not in the majority
of computer users, so once again, M$ wins.  Pity.  If nothing else, I guess
we can hope that the PnP hardware gets better in quality instead of further
degrading.  

Nonetheless, I'd really rather have some hardward that *I* can control
and configure, NOT the manufacturer/microsoft/whatever....  oh well.
