But I don't feel like digging through the whole damned system to find them when I want them cleared (because Windows doesn't clear them automatically, those directories can easily accumulate huge amounts of shit if left to their own devices.

So why don't you write a batch file to clear them on startup?

Even better, learn how to use Group Policies so that you can have batch files execute on logon or logoff.

I don't recall having any kernel panics in recent memory (then again, the only third party drivers I'm using are the nVidia ones, which are pretty good), unless I'm using a dev kernel- I do have problems with suspending due to conflicts with my SCSI driver, but that's not a kernel panic as the system is still usable, as in I don't need to reboot. The only times I remember a system halting kernel panic was when I tried to forcibly remove a busy module.

I did experienced a couple of BSODs on the school computers due to driver issues with the Intel "Extreme" (notice the quotes) GPU, a lot considering the relative amount of time spent on them.

Then again, my 6 year old hardware is pretty well supported though, so...

Ah, you mean Intel's "Extreme"ly Bad Integrated Crap?

I've got one of those in my computers too. Ironically, it gave me Linux problems, because after I got a new graphics card I couldn't boot in Linux to install the drivers for it.
