What kind of system is created whereby you need to connect to the Internet to install drivers in order to connect to Internet?

Surely this is a prime example of user-unfriendliness and the need to be relatively tech savvy. And this is Windows 7 - still the most commonly used OS in the world!
Most windows installations I have done have gone fine, yes, there are driver issues, but Windows out of the box will get you basic drivers. At least from XP onwards. I find windows painful in the seemingly endless series of reboots, and slow updates.
