cort in BILL GATES pocket?? well.........
Every new O/S is going to have bumps and pot holes, There is no getting
around it. There is to many choices of software and hardware combo's for anyone to build an o/s that will cover all the set up choices we have!! Windows 2.0 and up has been the samething new o/s new problems, time will solve them. my system. intell 945 board dual core 2.80 pent D 2 western digital 250 gig 1 seagate 160 gig all sata's ati PCI-e X1600 512 video canon pixma 950 scanner\printer lite-on cd\dvd burner lite-on Dvd player 2 gig 533 ddr2 ram i bought the second 250 just for vista, have it set up dual boot ( just in case ) Vista 64 bit home prem media edition Very happy system is stable and Quick run's very well with no problems i had more problems on Xp then i have had with Vista. noticed a few improvements in system proformance download speeds, boot times, program loading, Most are having driver problems and that is a given, look at all the hardware with so many venders, you cannot blame an OS for lack of drivers\support that is up to the hardware vendors. Vista did not just pop out of thin air ( they knew it was coming) Look at all the software, it's up to them to to fix support problems. and yes some older software will never work with vista, i would not want it to. as that would hinder any advancement with computers and has with any new system there is going to be some teething issue's And last but not least You AS THE END USER must decide FOR yourself if you are ready to cut your teeth on a new o/s system. Knowing full well there is going to be some problems. with drivers and software, are you ready to shelve some of your programs, and box some of your hardware. And if you were not prepared to face that you should of never bought Vista, OR XP, windows 2000, Windows 98, 98se, windows 95 or 2.0 or 3.0, 3.1. 3.11 ect.

XP was NOT like Vista when it was first released. It worked - and all the
hardware I had worked, and drivers were released fairly rapidly. Creative has STILL not provided a non-beta FULLY WORKING driver for their Audigy / XFi series of cards. I intend to stick with XP. I only come here to follow up on the latest troubles folks are having. "Drew" wrote in message ... Geez...Why Don't you start with the xp groups and ask them what XP was like when it first came out before you start spouting off about a op system that has been out what 2 months ??...Give me a frickin break and get a life !!!

In article , Guess Who says...
XP was NOT like Vista when it was first released. It worked - and all the hardware I had worked, and drivers were released fairly rapidly. Just because the hardware you had at the time happened to work doesn't mean it was the same for everyone. -- Conor Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak......... |

Don't understand your question. Do you mean you feel caught as in trapped
or do you mean the court (as in the legal system) is in Mr. Gates' pocket? -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Technologies - Printing & Imaging http://www.coribright.com/windows "dingo" wrote in message ... are you to a victum of vista??? felt ripped off??dissapointed with the new OS? cos its let you down?............................................. .well i would like to hear your story? |

So you think Vista is to blame for the the peripheral manufacturers who haven't bothered to produce updated drivers for existing products. Care to bet that these manufacturers will release new, "Made for Vista", peripherals so they can sell you something new? |
