This post is courtesy of Windows XP, freshly installed. Man, it is FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC. I did not even have to install modem drivers. Windows found the device during setup, knew what to do with it and installed a digitally signed driver for it. I was blown away and amazed. ALL of my hardware except for Creative Miscellaneous Devices were properly recognized and installed. I am speechless. I am amazed. This is a Microsoft product?? WOW!!!! I now have considerable technical experience and I have never seen anything PC related that made this great of an initial impression on me. The ethernet client is a breeze to configure. It is pretty and hip. Friends at work that have used it said it was great--they knew what they were talking about. Now I know why ME was so pathetic--it was a Microsoft practical joke!!! Here's hoping my parade don't get rained on.
