Hope AVG is paid for as the last couple of benchmarks showed it already dropped of the cliff. The hardware is just as bad on windows. Did a laptop for a client and forgot he wanted a dial-up modem. Quickly popped into a known retail computer store and brought a usb modem. Day later figured out after ripping open the box and getting the chip number that the company closed 5 years back. So no driver for Win7 or any of the updated service pack versions of Vista or XP. Cost me buying another modem for a supplier. Joke is Karmic and FC picks up the correct driver on hotplug. hehe…
