I just downloaded a 1.5 MB .exe file from Microsoft to validate my many-times-validated copy of XP SP2, so that I could download a 524KB hotfix because the geniuses who programmed SP2 didn’t have enough imagination to consider that SD cards might someday hold more than 4GB.
And Microsoft thinks we ought to just roll over and…well, you know.

Hello,
There is nothing particularly unusual about having to download device drivers or patches to enable support for new hardware classes. I download device drivers all the time for devices, and sometimes you have to buy a new operating system to gain support for new classes of hardware, like USB 2.0 in Windows 98, as compared to Windows 95.
