Like anyone's gonna buy Vista. Plus, I don't use the "built-in" or "native" support for CD and DVD stuff now.
1. You don't need drivers for things that hook up IDE(PATA or SATA) or SCSI, just for the controllers. If windows can see the hard drive it is running from, I think you're OK there.
2. I don't use the "built-in" CD-burning in XP, if it ain't nero, forget it. Oh, and where is the real native support for CD-RW packet-writing? Good job guys...
3. I don't watch DVDs in Windows media player.
4. Just because there won't be a native wizard implanted into a "What do you want to do" box on media insertion...you get my point.
So wow, I have to install a third-party something, I don't want to watch blue-ray in WMP 11, I want to get my rootkit straight up from Sony to track me and have the FBI at my house within 20 minutes for hacking the HDCP so I can view it on the LCD panel I have now, that I paid good hard earned cash for not so long ago.
Seriously though, you know what's not "built-in" or "native" in Microsoft's eyes yet still works pretty damn good: Firefox
