drivers vista

If I don't see my drivers listed with my mobo's manufacturers page, is it safe to safe that all of my devices will not be recognized after installing Vista?

I noticed my mobo's manufacturer has yet to have drivers available for Vista beta 2. Is it safe to say that after installing Vista, most of my devices will not be recognized?
I heard others say that Microsoft includes drivers if you order the DVD.

Hi Ryan,
I have an ASUS K8VSE motherboard and their website didn't have drivers for Vista Beta 2 but I was able to install Vista just fine and it recognized everything I had. The only thing I had to do different was to copy the WinXP serial ATA drivers onto the root directory of a floppy during the install. I don't know if the DVD version from Microsoft will be any different than the ISO they give you from their website.
Good luck, Lloyd

What's your mobo? There will not be more drivers in ordered DVD than in downloaded DVD iso. Not 100% sure, of course, but I would be very surprised

1. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the hardware to develop software products (drivers) that are compatible with Microsoft's operating systems and then to provide Microsoft with these drivers so that they can be included in the driver library of the operating system. This proceedure has not changed since Windows was begat. Microsoft does not write hardware specific drivers. Contact the manufacturer of the particular piece of hardware in question and ask them why they refuse to support you, their valued, paying customer.

Mark I realize that you're just trying to be helpfull, but your replies to people looking for information on drivers sometimes is just not helpful. He asked a simple question. Not a rant as to why Vista didn't include drivers for his Mobo.
My Mobo was covered by the Vista drivers. A Dell\Intel based system. So some are covered. Others may not be. Your response was just too vague and not helpful at all.
