OK. Let me clear the confusion if I can. There is a low level HARDWARE IEEE1394 host controller driver that comes with Windows. You don't load a Firewire host controller driver unless your Firewire card requires a special driver. The MS KB 955408 hot fix updates The Windows IEEE1394 low level

Abandoning Windows just isn't going to happen. The market share is too great and to do so would be a terrible business decision for anyone who markets software to the general public. The best bet is to have other options in addition to Microsoft. That is just the way it is. Blame Mr. Bill for
