Winmodems are not really modems. Have you compard the performance of a softmodem and a hardmodem?

In anything less than ideal conditions, which means pretty much anywhere where broadband is not a viable option, softmodems suck. You'll be lucky to manage a 28.8k connection. Hook up a hardware modem and suddenly you get a 53k connection.

But as for the software raid, what do you thinks happens in Windows? There is a driver that fools the config utils in Windows into thinking the array is one drive. What happens in Linux? There is a driver that allows one to setup a software raid and configure an array. So both Windows and Linux do the same thing but Linux is more honest about it.
