I suspect you are a shill for Vista. I am relaying a painful
experience with Vista, I gave Vista an honest try. You reply like I am
insulting your religion.
You don't provide any solutions for the real problems that Vista users
have.

Sigh...
What is your solution. (besides dumping the AOL/Mcafee that my family
has used for decades with no problem until now)

Wrong.
Windows XP SP2 has 10 maximum incomplete concurrent connection
attempts limit per second,
Vista Home Basic has maximum limit of 2.
No matter, you shouldn't need to hack the OS to make your apps work.
Not a problem for everyone, but it is for many.
What alternative solution do you suggest to do to fix the problem?

Unacceptable answer.
What is your solution to the issue here?

At this point I haven't been able to find Nero's free upgrade.
Maybe they'll offer one soon but I doubt it.
I think that Nero wants to sell Nero 7 and 8 which is an unacceptable
solution.
But since you claim to have the answer, show me the solution.
give the link.

I am all ears.
What is the compelling reason to upgrade to Vista?

Welcome to the Vista newsgroup! This is by far the worst group I've ever
seen for this type of behavior, on both sides of the equation: both Vista/MS
lovers and haters. It's really nothing new but I've actually found it
tolerable in the other groups. In fact this is the first time that I've
created rules to block certain posters.

I wish I could help you with your issues but I'm not a big Vista user yet
(and likely never will be at this rate), I have it installed as a second OS
but to date I rarely boot into it.

Sadly, none (imo). Vista offers nothing in terms of functionality that
isn't already available to or in XP, though many claim this is false they
have yet to provide any evidence of this.

Cheers,

Greg

Interesting writeup. I don't know about PCWorld, but numerous blogs and
online technical publications are warning people not to switch to Vista
yet, because of the kinds of problems you have experienced. But some
people are using Vista without problems, and others continue to swear by
it even when it causes them a lot of trouble.

I suspect that behind the rosy press releases, Microsoft is mounting an
insane effort to get Vista fixed ASAP. A year from now, new computers
with Vista pre-loaded will probably work fine.

BUT, that doesn't necessarily mean there is, or ever will be, a
compelling reason to get Vista... and that's really the single biggest
"problem" with Vista, IMO. Microsoft's customers will spend a lot of
money and suffer a lot of aggravation, just to get back to the level of
performance they took for granted with XP.

I'm sure he's at least as much a "Network Engineer" as you are a "Field
Engineer".

Well cozzmo, many here are Vista lovers. While they love and defend it,
they don't offer much technical help, if any.

What you need to do if you are actually looking for help here is post a
question, with a subject that includes the question as well. Better yet,
see if there's a more specific group for your question (if you had one).

I understand that you hadn't asked a question on how to fix something,
and what happens is when you make a post like yours, all the MS fanbois
come out of the closet and reply to you telling you Vista is the future,
it's your fault for not researching enough, it's different than XP,
therefore, this is the best one, 'you have to learn how to use Vista
properly'...the list goes on and on.

If you look thru this newsgroup, you'll notice that posts written as I
described before, with an actual single question, get replies that
actually _try_ to help. Posts that are venting frustrations about Vista
are not welcome here to the fanbois. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot
that have a thorough enough knowledge of Vista here, as this is a general
group.

Is it that hard for you to go to Http://www.nero.com and click on
"downloads" and select the "Update" wow must have taken me a whole minute to
find it.

Please stick with XP as Vista is way over your head.

hehehe...sorry dan'o, but our Vista Ultimate installs, all nine of them,
are running just fine.
And oh, btw, I'm personally running the latest, Vista compatible version
of Nero.
Is that too complicated for you to understand?
