Angry Suckage: Windrivers

OK, am I the only one who didn't know this? I go to one of my normal "gotta find this driver" sites today and bang..this is what I get:

Announcing...The WinDrivers Advantage!
WinDrivers is changing. With the exception of the home page and the message boards, WinDrivers is no longer free. You'll find the same content but a paid subscription will be required.

What kinda sorry @%#$@*%& is this...I'm bent!

Was this fairly recent? Seems like I just went to the site not long ago. I musta missed the announcement. Sheesh. And they're not cheap either...$60/year. Sorry, but it looks like I just lost one of my prime information sources. Hmph.

Bah, not free equals suckage. Guess it really couldn't last forever though.

I've removed Windrivers from my Favorites list. Considering that all they really are is a searchable list of links to driver downloads, I can't imagine ever paying for such a thing.

Oh, and that "Announcing...The WinDrivers Advantage!" nonsense... What, are we supposed to feel privileged that we now have to pay for the bloody thing? Kiss off.

Yeah I saw Windrivers was charging a few days ago when looking for a Voodoo driver.
