Rick, this is one of the reasons I finally gave up on 64-bit Windows.  
The driver support is very spotty, especially for older equipment.  
That's why I'm right now in the midst of moving first to all open source 
and then, maybe to a Linux desktop.

Combine the price with the fact that Linux appliances tend to run in 
much smaller footprints and it's really great for a virtualized 
network.  I can't get out of Windows completely anytime soon, but I'm 
preparing for the day.
