Re: VISTA - Microsoft's Edsel

Then your post would have been more appropriately in one or more of those
threads.
Or at least referencing the threads.
Alone and by itself, it looks like a meaningless rant.

I see a total of 10 posts of yours in this newsgroup.

2 in this thread, no relevant information by you of any problem.

1 posts in "VISTA Search Dialogue Stinks"
A very general complaint with nothing specific enough to work with.

1 post in "Vista Beta 2 & Driver issues"
Drivers are provided by the hardware manufacturer.
If the manufacturer will not provide them, there is nothing Microsoft can
do.
Of course you notified the hardware manufacturer of your need for the
driver?
If you or someone else filed a bug then Microsoft forwards the information
to the manufacturer.

1 post in "Vista MP3 do not play"
But again nothing that can help anyone help you.
No details at all.
You gave no indication what changed.
Since it worked before and not later, What changed?
You also seem unsure as to when.

Finally your one and only real issue, hardly "all over this community".
5 posts in:
"Vista Locked Up Tight - No Forward, No Reverse - Just a Square"
You have not been "booted me out of the Beta" since you most likely were not
in the Beta.
Most in this newsgroup are participating in the Customer Preview Program.
There are some members of the Technical Beta posting in this newsgroup.
The Technical Beta testers have other private newsgroups.
The Technical Beta and Customer Preview Program are different programs with
different purposes.
If you start from scratch with a Clean Installation, you will be able to
activate.
If you have questions as to exactly what you can do with Vista, read the
EULA you have already agreed.

Have you verified all your hardware is compatible with Vista?
A newer computer is no assurance of a Vista capable computer.
