Not Well Understood

I realized today, when updated video drivers, that I have no idea what happens when a program is loading the necessary utilities to install a driver. Even after so much of my computer science education, I still have no idea what goes into a hardware driver. I also know little about the installation process of any software. Do I care? Not really. I'm not going into application development. If I was, I would be spending my free time making useful software, not considering geometrical objects.

I guess it will continue to baffle me, unless all that is happening is a file transfer of a DLL or something. That would be kind of sad that something so simple evaded my knowledge for so long.
