Vista is the new Linux (in a bad way)

--versus--

The only reason I never seriously tried Linux, pre-Ubuntu, was my percetption that once I install the darn thing, I would have to go around hunting for drivers for every little screw installed/attached to my computer.

However, bad karma to blame, I did. But not with Linux, but Windows Vista Ultimate.To contrast, I installed Ubuntu to see what happens:

Driver----------------------Vista Ultimate----------------Ubuntu 7.xx
====================================================================
PCMCIA Slot Driver-----------Painful hours of Googling-----Automatic!
SD Card Reader Driver--------Painful hours of Googling-----Automatic!
External Firewire Drivers----Painful hours of Googling-----Automatic!
Tablet PC Recognition--------Automatic---------------------Not Tested
Sony Camera (DV Connection)--Movie Maker does not recognise the DV Camera
====================================================================
