Yeah but I had problems with them when a supplier replaced my TS drive 
with a Qsi drive in my laptop... be it in windows, linux, vista (Was 
longhorn at the time), whatever... NOTHING liked the drive very much at 
all. Heck it even had issues reading discs it had just burnt. Never been 
a fan of Qsi.. wouldnt poke it with a 10ft stick!

But thats hardware issues.. its not OS-specific :-)
