Probably not.
The drivers distributed by Windows Update are furnished by the
hardware manufacturers.

Check with the manufacturers about Windows Vista support for their
products.

Depends on if the manufacturers of the device are aware of the issue and
decide to push a driver update through Windows Update. A friend up mine had
a web cam (4 years old) that just the other day received an update through
WU. The option right now is to actually go to the manufacturers website and
find out about updates, sometimes the developers will release it on their
own websites.

I still some major problems with Vista32 and sound drivers. I first had
onboard Realtek sound, which gave problems. I was advised to get a
Soundblaster card, but I still have problems with sound with some
applications. The app vendor blames the sound drivers, who in turn, blame
Vista.

The link talks about driver and other software development issues with 3rd
party vendors.

You should check with the vendors to see if they have drivers/software that
is compatible with Vista.

In my case all my products are "Vista compatible", but the software vendor
blames Creative sound drivers, who, in turn, blame Vista

MS with Vista is not the one that wrote the drivers. If the drivers don't
work, then it's soley on the door step of the software vendor that wrote the
drivers. 3rd party vendors are real good at pointing fingers, when the
probelm is clearly in their ballpark and they won't face it.

You should read in the link above about drivers, software vendors and Vista.

"Creative sound drivers, who, in turn, blame Vista"
Exactly how does Creative blame Windows Vista?
Since Creative is responsible for making Windows Vista compatible
sound drivers Creative has no one to blame if their hardware lacks
driver support.

Umm...
Creative is hardware, hardware compatibility is
the job of application/software not the device
to chase every OS on planet for inclusion.

There are already drivers plenty for current creative.
Not to mention the creative (sound blaster) core
which is (was) the base most audio h/w license...
Heck...without sound blaster Windows would be comic book.

If we were talking about brand new to scene hardware
then there might be a point to it, otherwise it's lazy.

If it's not the driver but just creative software that
is not compatible...
that is for creative to repair if they want creative
brand utilities used in audio control.

I am going to have to say that you don't know what you are talking about.

This person in the link does know what he is talking about.
