I was surprised by the lack of the fax function in Vista Premium (64 bit). I
purchased a modem that had a 64 bit driver but no faxing software. If you go
to tucows.com there is shareware for about $40 that will add this to Vista.
I have not yet purchased any of these because I wanted to do more research.
There were two programs listed that had compatibilty with the VISTA operating
system. Be sure to read the comments, etc before purchasing anything because
I noticed some programs that people had purchased that did not work esp. if
XP-Pro-64 bit was what they thought would make it compatible and it was not.

Can anyone recommend some good software that will replace this? I will
gladly pay up to $500 to any company for the software. I will not pay to
upgrade my Windows when I already have Premium on both my Desktop and Laptop.


I will no longer support windows either. I can't wait until Google rolls
out their operating system.

I'm thoroughly DISGUSTED with MicroSoft for removing this feature from the
program. I used this feature frequently. If I had known this prior to
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!!!!
