I always thought it's not very nice nor professional to have users hunt for a driver when a device is attached to their system. Especially if there's some application software for that device that they install anyway.

	Wouldn't it be nice if the user could just install the software, which would install the driver automatically? And then they plug in their device and windows already knows where the driver is! It'd be even better if the driver could be updated without having to disconnect the device, right? Well, the attached script does that too -- on 2000/XP, that is.
