Definitely Interesting at the fact that 'why can drivers load instantaneously'. Why does OS need to go through the entire process of detection of Hardware when it is Initializing the same hardware everytime when it boots up and this incidently happens to be taken up by the BIOS itself, then y worry the OS with this again. I feel the Detection must be done the first time it boots up with the hardware and to store it at a consistent location. The change in the hardware (not plug and play types) must be detected by notifying to the user and then initialized. This would make the user handle on his OS works and should work.
