Drivers are a lot more complicated than you may think, for Win7 they need to be signed by Microsoft which is an expensive option. They restrict drivers this way due to security concerns over trojans and viruses.

from what i understand, there are work-arounds
at least, ways to tell the OS to install your own un-signed driver at boot

notice that there is a lack of driver discussion on this forum
that's because we have rules to prevent the development of potentially malicious software
