[mdlug] Semi-OT: Another BIG WinVista misstep

[Robert Adkins]

The really lovely thing about that is the damned thing can't read the 
driver off of anything other than a Floppy Disk. (At least with Windows 
XP), when was the last time you saw a new PC ship with a floppy disk?

I had to tear apart some computers in order to reinstall Windows XP onto 
a SATA drive that came with the PC. It most certainly added time to the 
process.
