"You're holding it wrong" - Steve Jobs.

Honestly, I've had this same problem with Card Readers. Works perfect every time in Linux, requires multiple reboots several times in Windows 7.

There is proof after many, many moons of using Windows of all flavors and Linux of many distributions, that the Windows USB stack sucks nuts (and not in the good hooker sort of way.)

Linux even had USB 2.0 and 3.0 support before Windows did.

Windows 7 usually finds my phone's mass storage device, though sometimes it only mounts the SD card rather than both of the storage devices on it.

Seriously though, kudos to the rant, that was awesome and should be shared across the globe!
