acbc Go blame the driver maker - Microsoft is no way responsible for this issue.

The problem is hardware and software developers are glacial to changes (i.e. seriously can't they dedicate some resources to make a decent Windows driver)?

Only large hardware makers (such as AMD and nVidia) are able to do that - so why can't those smaller developers can do that?

I'm looking at TP-Link, especially.

You also forgot something - bad power management

I know a lot of people don't bother doing a BIOS upgrade before upgrading


A bad BIOS = bad power management. I just don't know why people don't even do this

OS X is extremely trouble free because backwards compatibility do not exist in the Mac world. Of course they have a very closed ecosystem (i.e. they have control on everything including the firmware and the driver) and that's why they can work so well.
