So I have an iPod Mini, and a laptop that runs Windows XP. Windows XP correctly detects that the iPod Mini is a USB 2.0 device, and that I plugged it into a USB 1.1 port. It then informs me of that fact.
Nice, right? Except that I have no USB 2.0 ports on this laptop! I plugged it into a USB 1.1 port because that's all there is - I can't plug it into a USB 2.0 port. The device can't perform faster, there's no faster port to use!
Every single time I plug it in, "This device can go faster" - thanks, Windows, but if you bothered to check (and it does, because it'll display a list of USB ports available if you click on the message), you'd discover that while the device may be able to go faster, the computer can't!
So, please, Windows, shut up.
