This is yet another deficiency of Vista. I know I've said it before and
I guess I'll say it again: There is just no excuse for these problems in
an OS that promised ot solve so many problems and considering how long
it was in developement, things like this are just laughable. "Longhorn"
was in dev at least since 2001 when I first read about it. This is
supposedly the same people who broguh us XP, so what excuse is there for
all these ridiculous problems? XP never had so many problems as I'm
seeing with Vista - both in this group and customers that come to us.
I've been in line of work since 1996 so I can honestly say Vista has had
the most problems of any Windows I can remember, and there is no excuse
for it.
