The reasons for "why should they" are: 1. There is an almost infinite number of combinations of hardware that one can find out there and most of them are like the person you are replying to edge cases that effect very few people (as witnessed by you can't find anyone with a close enough system that is willing to actually do the work to test any fixes on... so this leaves two options: a) you stop complaining and help actually fix the bug, b) you switch OS's.... either way stop publically whining about stuff you refuse to help with in an way and if you switch OS's this is the wrong forum to do it in -- in short STFU) 2. They *DO* list hardware that is *KNOWN* to be 100% compatible and working with the base system if you are not using one of the listed components then you are venturing into unknown territory and any problems are on you to report and or help fix... if you decide to go this route then you have no one except yourself to blame when you run into "some assembly required" situations and likely you are one the few people that can help fix it... yet you refuse to... again STFU -- Aryeh M.
