Same here. I normally work exclusively on macs & gnu/linux boxen, and when recently doing a stint in a windows 7 pro environment was in utter disbelief that plugging in a USB keyboard or mouse could occasionally require waiting over a minute before it became usable, often with a popup saying, "new drivers installed, you should probably restart" or similar. The environment is a bit odd - on a ship, so restricted internet and permissions, but even still. What the hell does windows need to go looking for drivers for a bog standard USB mouse???
