Actually, Windows drivers are really weird.  If you *just* install the OS 
there's no driver for the NIC and so no way of running Windows Update.  
Bizarre.  God forbid after re-installing Windows to get rid of a virus 
the drivers disc is mislaid...

Most major Linux distro's are far more functional out of the box -- for 
instance the networking is enabled.
