Windows does this, but it rarely works. If Windows does have a generic driver for a device, I've never seen it successfully find a new driver from Windows Update when I plug in a new device.

Fortunately, I could imagine a Linux notification system using (something like) apt-get to download new drivers might actually work correctly. :)

Probably the only reasonably accurate message would be "USB device not recognized. Wait a year and try again."
