I find the OPPOSITE to be true!

Hell if Windows isn't recognizing some ethernet card, video card, sound card,
I stick it in my FreeBSD machine where it's instantly recognized, and tells 
me what it is, so I can go back to the Windows machine and try to make it
reognize it.

I'm always AMAZED at how well FreeBSD (and OpenBSD) just recognize things
immediately: no special drivers-CD-or-floppy needed.
