   I think you are confusing the product capabilities and what is in the =
box.  Dropping the drivers for non-PnP ISA cards reflects that the space = they 
occupy would be better used for current hardware which people have. =
 You already noted that you can use old network adapters and the NetBEUI =
protocol if you want.  Most folks have no use for either.

  I know Rich is gonna have a hard time accepting this, but it's true. =
Its the
  same thing that happened to IBM once they reached ubiquity and it's =
why the
  PC and MS got as far as they did, because it gave us more freedom.

  Linux is gonna be the beneficiary in the long run, it's maturing and =
it will
  take over if MS doesn't change.
