Random thought: I wonder if Microsoft has ever considered adding a built-in test suite to consumer Windows to flog drivers.
I could see the benefits of being able to throw up a "Warning: {Device name} is not behaving properly and may cause system instability" prompt. As opposed to just screwing up behavior at user interaction time without a clear "That piece of hardware you bought / company you bought it from is a POS" message.
