Roxio software and Vista?

It appears that Roxio BackupMyPC files cannot work in Vista. Fine, s
why do Roxio want the customer to purchase another version inorder t
access previous software files
Are there any alternatives to open these files in Vista?:confused

I am glad you asked, because there seemed to be inconsistencies in my Roxio
program as well. Curious about the answers,

So that is your answer to every post you generate now? Install that piece
of crap Ubuntu/Linux? There is a better solution. Ditch Roxio and install
NERO. Nero works with Vista just fine. No need to listen to that ****tard
measekite. That is overkill and a complete waste of time. Just like
measekite is a waste of human flesh.

Have you asked Roxio these questions? What did they say?

If their software isn't compatible with Vista then they need to resolve the
issue.
