Listing of Vista Drivers

Posted by kdawson on from the crib-sheet dept.

RadarSync writes to plug their page of links to Vista drivers. Listed are many drivers that Microsoft doesn't have and that aren't easily found on the manufacturer's sites. For Intel alone, 364 drivers are currently linked.

    if they didn't care so much about vista why would they spend so much time in making it uncrackable by hackers and pirates??

    Its really not that hard to find drivers for your hardware from the manufactures site

    Would grandma be able to do that ? Looks like not even that supposedly easy-to-use OS is really that easy after all...

    While I hate Windows, I actually wish this problem was not so easy for Microsoft to solve. Since they are signing all drivers, they could just determine device's PCI/USB/etc signature and fetch the driver from their website. The problem is that now all the hardware in the world can only be created with Microsoft's approval, which is way too much control for a single company.
