Now Windows drivers for something, use a Linux VM

I got such a kick out of this (and this could be a good way to re-use old hardware with propietary drivers).  The author couldn’t get a system running of USB/serial in windows.  So he created a tiny linux VM, had it monitor the usb device and pipe the results to netcat back to the windows box.  Its a heck of a hack, but it got me thinking about a bunch of old devices I have that lost support after Windows XP.
