Driver updaters SUCK, also New Stuff SUCKS! (or at least most of it does)

You know one thing I hate about modern operating systems?  They are not compatible with older hardware or software.   Here's an example "Hey, wanna play Need For Speed 2? WELL TOUGH LUCK BECAUSE IT'S TOO OLD!". One thing I tried recently is getting an old video capture card working on Windows 7, but of course, there's no drivers available because it's too old for Windows 7. And don't get me started on how HARD it is to even find drivers for hardware theese days.

I was on the internet, looking for the driver I need, I come to a padge that has the supposed driver on it, so I download this "driver" only to find it's not a driver at all, but a stupid driver updater! Oh sure it will check your computer to see what drivers it needs, but if you want it to get the driver for you, you have to PAY to get it! Drivers themselves are always FREE, so something like this should also be free.  For god sake, drivers are an essential thing to making a computer work, those updaters should be free so people can get their computer up and working with the least hassle.  People who make a driver updater could earn money from other software they release.  Then again even if those driver updaters WERE free I still wouldn't use them, they could easily end up installing the wrong driver, plus you have no control over what actually get's installed.  I'm sick of those, every time I look for a driver for some "new" hardware, instead of finding the driver I want, it's another dam driver updater. I DO NOT WANT THAT, I want the driver that I came here for, that way I know what I'm installing, and if it doesn't work, I'll un-install that and try another one.
