Welcome to the world of Microsoft. It's all too easy to blame the OS for grief caused by 3rd-party buggy drivers (or user-space apps).

Of course, Microsoft tends to internalize this problem and fix problems themselves (according to this Raymond Chen blog post from several years ago about unsavory programming practices at a game software company).

And Microsoft internalizing all driver issues is not bad at all. In fact I would say that Linux distributors might gain a lot from this practice. It is also a great opportunity now that Microsoft has managed to forget it.
