Agreed. From the point of view of the manufacturer, there is the big 
headache of having to provide drivers for the various operating systems 
-- and versions of operating systems. Do we want Elecraft to spend 
valuable staff time making sure that working drivers are available for 
Windows 95 through Vista, the various Mac OS versions, Linux, and who 
knows what?

And then when the driver doesn't install correctly, they will be asked 
to help, even if the problem is caused by some kind of resource 
conflict, spyware, or whatever.
