Microsoft to Turn to Driver Quality Ratings System

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the four-stars dept.

QT writes "Ars Technica is reporting that Microsoft is finally trying to do something about PC driver problems. A new crash-report-driven Driver Quality Rating system will be used in Windows Vista to rate drivers. Drivers that rate poorly in real world use by users will lose their logo certification status, which would be bad news for OEMs and the device manufacturers themselves. Maybe now submitting crash reports will feel more useful? This is long overdue."

    You are using an ECS montherboard which is junk.

    You are using a VIA chipset, which is also junk.

    People that buy junk cannot complain about the quality of an OS if their underlying foundation is garbage.
