Well if it needs that much correcting and tinkering, to me it seems
more like very poor quality instead of good quality.

That's very handy, but question:
Is it downloading the drivers specifically for your system, or is it
like Dell's methods where you enter your tag-id and then it looks up
all drivers for all hardware that ever was put into the system model
you have, and thus ending up with no less than 50 different network
card drivers, sound card drivers, video card drivers etc etc etc.
It's rather stupid though, as your tag-id is a unique number that's
linked to your system. Since the system is known to them, they built it
so they know what they've put in it, they could've just as easy filter
out all the unneeded stuff..
