www.windrivers.com is now charging $30 USD a month? Just to search for drivers??

They'll never get it. Too many other free places to go.

There's actually a really good debate going on their forums now, about internet.com being able (or brazen enough to) charge for what is basically a glorified links page... I mean, none of the drivers are even hosted on windrivers.com, they're just linked to the manufacturers site...

There's alot of good reading if anyone is interested in having a peek. Hell, maybe y'all can have a membership drive and get some of them to roost here - the refuge for disgruntled UBB forum posters worldwide..

bandwidth, time spent updating etc.

If they wanna charge for it, its their call. If you don't want to use it anymore, that is yours.
