Native driver support is so cool!

I bought a Samsung ML-1210 today for college, and I basically just hooked up the USB cable to my computer and plugged in the power. XP Pro said, "New Hardware Detected," automatically downloaded the [proprietary] Samsung drivers from Windows Update, and no sooner had I logged into Windows, my printer worked automatically.

People complain about Windows no matter what, but I've got to give MS a LOT of credit for XP. Their best work yet.
