a really bad idea (useless prompts asking "ABC was detected but you need
XYZ to drive it" or "to install XYZ enter the ROOT password"). Again, I
urge you to examine a non-OEM version of Windows.
That was always how I would assume it would work. Of course it shouldn't
install software without asking the user first. A pop-up saying 'you
should probably install package XYZ to use your ABC' is clearly the only
sensible way to do it.
