Amusingly enough, I was hooking up a fairly new HP printer last night. 
Works in Linux with no trouble.  Works in XP with no trouble.  Could not 
find a driver.  Windows 7, 64bit.  You know why, and I know why, but the 
user still doesn't understand why I had trouble, and how I had to fix it.

I still find it funny that many of the things people hold Windows out 
for doing well, it often does not do so well.
