Yeah, I didn't know that Microsoft removed the Fax and Scan feature from
Windows Vista.


They didn't. It was only removed from some editions. It's there in
Business and Ultimate.


I am very disappointed.


Three points:

1. The difference between editions consists of a difference in what
features they contain and what the prices are. Microsoft elected to
remove certain features from some editions because it could therefore
sell them at a lower price. That feature vs. price situation may not
be better for you, but it saves money for most users of Vista Home
Premium, who wouldn't use the feature anyway.

2. When you choose an edition of Windows Vista (or any other version
of Windows), it's *your* job to do the appropriate research and make
your choice based on the differences between the editions and what
features you need or want. Would you buy a particular model of a car
without doing the research to find out how it differed from other
similar models?

3. Despite what I say above, I agree that Microsoft could have done a
better job of making this particular omission clearer. You are not the
first one to have been surprised by this--not by a long shot.

I'm thoroughly DISGUSTED with MicroSoft for removing this feature from the

recently purchasing this system and upgrade--I probably would not have.

Microsoft, you've gotten so big that you seem to feel it's okay to 'dog-out'
your loyal customers without any negative ramifications to you. NOT COOL!!!!
