Hardware drivers; you either love them or you hate them. Actually, I
don't think anybody actually loves them. But inevitably, a new version
of your drivers is going to be released. Quick, hotshot: what do you
do?
a) Install them immediately! They may have new functionality
or make my applications run better!
b) Install them eventually. They're probably released for a
reason, but I'm in no rush.
c) Install them only if I have to. The systems running fine,
so I'll only install the drivers if some app needs them.
d) Never install them. I like how the computer is running
now, and it's not worth the risk.
e) I'm still running whatever drivers came pre-installed
with the OS/computer.
f) Ha! Joke's on you! I'm already two versions ahead of the
'new' driver just released!
g) Ha ha! I'm using hardware or an OS that somehow doesn't
require drivers!
h) What's a driver?
i) User Defined Option (for those who hate coloring within
somebody else's lines ;-)
I definitely fall into category "C" these days. I used to be a
category "A" type person (or maybe even category "F"), but these days
I just don't see the point. Especially since, too often, new drivers
include /unwanted/ functionality that just makes the overall
experience worse. Unless an app absolutely demands a new driver, I
won't bother... and even then, I may just decide against using the
app.
So where do you fall on the driver-update spectrum?
