One thing Windows does terribly is how it handles driver enumeration. For example, if you use multiple USB<->Serial interfaces. Windows creates a separate device instance for each ID. Regardless how many you actually have in use at one time, and regardless if it is the same exact device with a different ID or not . . . Most people using windows will probably notice this first, when creating multiple ethernet interfaces. Whether virtual or not, they never seem to go away . . .and after a while Windows just looses it's brain. What little it had to begin with.
