Vista - A Letter to Bill Gates.

Dear Mr. Bill Gates:

As I have previously mentioned the following, "Installing Avast 4.6 Home
Edition on Build 5308 CTP will cause the Operating System to become
"Completely Unstable," that is unless you turn off "All 7 Anti-Virus
Shields," which will leave you with "No Active-Monitoring Anti Virus
Protection," so it really is about time for Microsoft to give us MSDN
Tester's "Something Newer than Build 5308," whether it's either Build 5342,
or the Upcoming April Release (even if it's not a CTP Release).

P.S. I am not happy with the fact that Microsoft has chosen to leave us
MSDN Windows Vista Tester's Vulnerable to the Critical IE 7 Security
Vulnerability (it's bad enough that us MSDN Windows Vista Home User Tester's
have No Active Anti-Virus Solution that works, and now we have to worry
about an IE 7 Beta Security Vulnerability as well). I have already tried
using both NOD32 and the McAfee Virus scan 8.5I Corporate Beta, and both of
them refused to install on my Windows Vista Hard Drive.

P.P.S. As I have also previously mentioned the following: The following
update refuses to install on my computer: "KB916184 for Windows Vista Build
5308 CTP." So it really is about time for Microsoft to give us MSDN
Tester's either Build 5342 or some other New Build No Later than April 12th,
2006.

P.P.P.S. If Microsoft was really concerned about Computer User's Security
in Windows Vista, they would give us MSDN Subscriber's a New Build (like
Build 5342 for example, or the Upcoming April Release no later than April
12th, 2006).

Sincerely,

Kevin John Panzke (MSDN Operating Systems Level Subscriber)

Many report success with Avast on that build, many including myself did not.
If security is an issue, you should not be using a Beta especially a Beta
operating system for a production computer.

Are you willing to accept total loss of data and the need to format to
resolve any issue?
If not, you should not install any kind of Beta much less a Beta operating
system.
Also since this is a peer to peer newsgroup, hopefully you are sending this
message through an appropriate channel.
This newsgroup is clearly not appropriate if you want Microsoft or Bill
Gates to see your message.

And, I just thought that I would let you know that the KB916184 Update for
Windows Vista Build 5308 CTP just Failed to Install for the 9th Time in a
Row!

P.S. I have already Filed 2 Bug Reports on this issue, yet Microsoft seems
to be doing absolutely nothing about it!

P.P.S. It is time for a New Build!

Avoid using 5308 then in the time being, its not like they were gonna notice
your bug report anyway. Bugs filed through BETA Client out of the Private
BETA program are not considered.

Why don't you just remove the P.S and the P.P.S and the P.P.P.S and include
that into the actual letter? s

Maybe you should contact Avast in regards to there product not working on
the Beta OS instead of MS. Avast does not support beta MS Vista at this
time.

Also keep in mind, with Beta software, there will be issues. You might have
a leg to stand on if it was the final release, but you choose to use the
beta OS knowing that the software is not finnished.

Very politely said JJ. This is one person that all should ignore for his constant dribble over numerous newsgroups.

You have to laugh.. "Dear Mr Gates, someone else's software does not work
on your beta OS".

Surely this is a Avast! problem... Whilst I agree that MSDN testers
should also have access to the same builds as the beta testers, I don't
think this is the way to go about it..

Andre, you just gave me a great idea: I just removed Windows Vista Build
5308 CTP from my computer, and re-installed my OEM Copy of Windows XP 64-Bit
Edition. I am going to go say hello to everyone in the Microsoft Windows
64-Bit Public Newsgroups and let them know that I am back again. I will
resume my Windows Vista Beta Testing just as soon as the next Build is
released to MSDN Tester's. Hasta La Vista, Baby!
