The problem is Windows95 and DOS are junk to begin with. Then you try to graft a *GOOD* idea onto them with duct tape. What do you think the results are gonna be like?
Plug-and-play has an *UNDESERVED* bad reputation because of these two.
Now take LINUX, a real OS with Plug-and-Play support designed by people who hate the way the existing Plug-and-Play systems work. The results just *HAVE* to be good! :-)
