That's an extremely weak argument and you're skewing my example to make yours.

Apples to apples - Try running vista on your old laptop and watch how much faster your new laptop feels compared.

More apples to apples - My smartphone from 2 yrs ago could only do a fraction of what I ask my phone to do today.

All for a driver??? Seems like a big trade off considering it's there under the hood.
