Oh my...

How's this for efficiency: I install a USB mouse and its driver right? From one USB port in teh Windoze computer.

THEN

I unplug the mouse, use it elsewhere

BUT

when I plug it back in, albeit in a different USB port Windoze is all "Hey welcome back same mouse... sorry but you're in a different USB port so I gotta re-install the drivers for you".

I mean, how STUPID is that!? Why can't, in the year 2008, Windoze be smart enough to cover all ports with just ONE instance of the driver? And so are you gonna tell me this fucker is going to repetitively install the same driver for each port that a device is used in??

Or is it just my generic-branded USB mouse at fault?
