Once the drivers are installed that doesn't seem to matter..

Plug and Play baby


Btw, the link in first post of this thread seems to be a rip from http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1840131,00.asp
(they even copied the link texts, not the links)
RE: Drivers loading and Plug and Play...

Yeah, I get all that...was posting in the form of rhetorical questions. Sorry, guess my 'tone' didn't come across too well. The point was, MS may claim it is not their problem, but if the defined behavior allows priviledged access, then it's poorly designed and/or implemented. I don't give a rat's ass if it's their code, an IEEE problem, or some dorkwad engineer who can't write a driver; it's an exploit, on their platform, and they need to address it.
