Ahhh sweet summer child <| sep |> God damn I love how thorough you people can be ! <| sep |> remindme ! 5 months <| sep |> When I first got into Scientology I asked them about that . Xenu I think ? They laughed and said people who are trying to spread black propaganda about the church say that . But when you think about it , why would so many different people say the same thing ? <| sep |> There is no system of quality control for this . so it varies hugely . Not true . There are at least two systems to control quality driver s i g n i n g u s w i n d o w s h a r d w a r e d r iversinstalldriversigning and Windows Hardware C e r t i f i cationuswindowshardwaregg 463010 . aspx previously Windows Hardware Quality Labs or WHQL . Both programs have been in place since before Windows Vista . The real Wild West of drivers was back in the days of Windows 9 x , before everyone switched from VxD drivers to the new WDM framework . Windows 98 supported both which , as the easiestwayout , led to basically everything defaulting to VxD . I agree that things have gotten better since then , but the statement that Windows has no quality control for its drivers is simply not true .
