JagChan I have to admit I agree with Andy. If people go back through my
posts they will see that, during the latter part of 2006 I said that, in my
opinion, Vista wouldn't be ready until 'at least' the middle of 2007. I
actually believe that if Microsoft hadn't been in such a hurry to release
Vista, Vista would have actually turned out a better product.

Even in the released version there are still numerous bugs. As Andy says Not
all third party security software works with Vista. For that matter most
other software doesn't work with Vista. Okay this is partly due to the fact
that software developer's were not keeping pace with Vista prior to its
release and upon release there was no immediate software updates to make
third party software work with Vista. The same, unfortunately, applies to
device drivers. The hardware manufacturer's have been a big let down here,
especially to people who are only using Vista on their machines.
Fortunately, i dual boot with XP and Vista so i do have a choice.

A point worth mentioning regarding drivers, from my own perspective, is HP
Printers. I have an HP Printer that works perfectly with XP. If i use it
from Vista (using vistas' generic printer driver - incidentally developed by
HP) the printing is useless. Why? you ask. Simply because the generic driver
isn't fully featured. In other words there is no way of calibrating the
printer head like there is in XP so most, not all, of the text is slightly
offset when printing. All i gte from HP is 'we are working on a fully
featured driver' When? I ask. 'Don't know, you'll have to make do with what
you've got 'or' buy another printer that 'is' vista compatible. Yes that's a
good idea, maybe a Canon or Lexmark?

As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand.

2000 for intermediate users, and XP for Professionals, and Vista for
wizards.

Learn to at least spell before bashing someone.

Also your wife called, she said you left your ability to not be an ass at
home.
