I came across this little guy today while I was trying to track down a pesky audio driver for Windows XP. It seems to contain the entire driver profile for the Vostro 1400 so you no longer have to search for each of them individually. Nothing like being punished for not wanting Vista.

By the way, this contains the NVIDIA 8400 driver, and not the integrated Intel video driver. Sorry, that means you have to hunt down *one* driver… (Hint: its right here.)

Why Dell or other manufacturers don’t do this is beyond me. How hard is it to build a system that uses your service tag to zip/bundle the correct drivers on the fly? Maybe I should build something like that, but I’d probably get sued into oblivion by all the overzealous big company lawyers.
