I've just installed Vista after a bit of an upgrade. It's the first time I've installed Windows for several years. I was frankly gobsmacked that it didn't even install drivers for my Nvidia graphics card and Netgear wireless card.

I love Linux but wouldn't call myself an evangelist. But after all the complaints about how Linux doesn't work "out of the box" I can honestly say I'm disappointed with the Windows default installation. Ubuntu set all this up straight out of the box (or at least with a couple of clicks after installing).

Oh and what's with the 119mb download for Nvidia drivers????? That's just insane.
