Hi Andrew,

Exactly what the desciption implies. It allows the user to load device
drivers.
> Does it allow the connection of any USB device?
Yep.
> What about software installations.
Nope, but Power Users can install most software, though they are sometimes
hamstrung by programs that load (guess what?) - Device drivers.
