While I was working with Windows XP Embedded (after a long 
absence from Windows), I noticed that they don't just work with 
PCI IDs, but also with PCI-Subsystem IDs.

$ lspci -vn
03:00.0 0200: 168c:0013 (rev 01)
        Subsystem: 1186:3a12
        ...

If vendors would make the subsystem ID wrong, then even Windows 
XP wouldn't be able to detect the card correctly. That's quite a 
big incentive to get that number right :-)
