Google is a Better Windows Help Than Windows Help Itself

I got an error when trying to install a network adapter driver that windows recommended to me (the LAN was having problems and I was in desperate need of a solution) and Windows was kind enough to give me an error code to look up in their Help & Support program, but lo and behold it said back to me "lol wut I don't know taht error lol". So I googled the code and on the first hit I got an answer. You would think that every time a programmer entered an error code they would put the meaning of it in their help program, or, get this: they could say what the error is right there when you get it! WOW! I am such a genius!
