Microsoft to Turn to Driver Quality Ratings System 333

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday June 14, 2006 @09:20PM from the four-stars dept.

QT writes "Ars Technica is reporting that Microsoft is finally trying to do something about PC driver problems. A new crash-report-driven Driver Quality Rating system will be used in Windows Vista to rate drivers. Drivers that rate poorly in real world use by users will lose their logo certification status, which would be bad news for OEMs and the device manufacturers themselves. Maybe now submitting crash reports will feel more useful? This is long overdue."

I don't know who this Prescott is but I would suggest you avail yourself of one of the most important books on politics, economics and history ever written, namely Max Weber's "The protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism". Probably in some sort of top 5 list with Capital and On Liberty. You will realise that the religion plays a very large part indeed in everything American, particularly attitude towards work.
