    I've now spent three hours trying to get my Creative Zen Sleek MP3-player to work on Windows XP and am officially pissed. The thing is that there are tons of different files to be downloaded, different versions of drivers and applications and they all get downloaded at speed under 30 kB/s. It just bites so much to wait an hour for a crappy software to download just to notice it doesn't work with the player/version/OS/how should I know which part.

    And Creative surely isn't the only brand to do this. So I started wondering what brands have working (i.e. fast, easy to use) download&support site and which ones surely don't?

    I'd like to start the list by adding the first three:

    Nvidia - Fast, good
    Lenovo/IBM - Fast, good (a bit confusing if you don't know the exact drivers needed for your new rig)
    Creative - Slow, baaaad.

    Also I could add just about all the motherboard manufacturers here...
