Yeah I mean, from a common user's point of view (like my own) Vista actually has a lot more functionality. USB and networking, especially wireless, was always a total crapshoot on XP. Vista is 1000% more plug-and-play.

Drivers have been provided by manufacturers for XP since forever...?

Where do you get USB drivers? I don't even know. Your motherboard manufacturer? Who the fuck manufactured my motherboard? How do I find out?

But in Vista I can just plug it in and it works. And if it doesn't, the "go find it for me on the internet" thing actually works like, some times, unlike XP's which was a joke.

Networking on XP was a disaster. I could be hooked up on a LAN and play games with people but not be able to see their shared folders and blah blah blah. It seemed completely random. Vista... just works.
