Also, is there any *easy* way I can find one out how companies rank as
far as diligence in providing updated drivers? I plan never to buy
anything from Epson or that board manufacturer again, and I'd prefer
to choose companies that care more about after-sale support.

Looks like you won't be buying anything from anyone every time there
is a major OS change.

Not true. In general my experiences haven't been that bad. But I
think what's going to happen to me a lot is that I'll switch to
another manufacturer, and *they'll* screw me over too, then I'll buy
from a *third* manufacturer after that...
