Well, unfortunately there's no such thing as "all those other USB devices". It's a wild untamed world of devices out there, and there are loose standards to act as guidelines, but there's a lot of leeway for the writers of usb drivers to improvise. Modern operating systems have generic usb driver support that will handle a wide variety of different types of devices (you probably don't need drivers to plug in thumb drives or CD/DVD devices or keyboards/mice) but there are still usb devices that need special handling.
Your n52 seems to have firmware that allows it to be supported natively in more modern OS versions, but your n50 apparently doesn't, and so needs drivers installed.
