You've never had Windows notice that you've plugged in a new mouse, new

Back when I was still dual-booting this box, I upgraded the video card. First I
booted into Win98SE. It detected the new card and insisted on dropping down to
a minimal 640X480 screen while I installed the new drivers and rebooted. Then,
I had to tell it to go back to the proper screen settings, after which I had to
put almost every single icon back where it belonged because Windows had moved
them and only remembered the new locations.
Then I booted into Linux. It Just Worked.
7 is somewhat better in that regard. It's not perfect. It is better. And I
notice that on 7 nVidia drivers install without a reboot which is quite
astonishing and gratifying. It's almost Linux-like in that regard.
