Re: Fax

Marketing group drove this decision, the artists who created the software
wanted everyone to access and use this feature.

Re: Fax

THIS IS RIDICULOUS..... I can't believe Microsoft simply deleted the feature.
Extensive use of the HELP facility doesn't even deal with this subject --
it's just "non-existent" and obviously ignored.

What are one's options to install a FAX program with Vista Home?

Re: Fax

I WAS THE BIGEST BOOSTER MICROSOFT HAD FOR MANY YEARS. I AM NOW DROPING SOME
OF THE PROGRAMS THAT COME WITH VISTA OVER THE FAX AS WELL AS OTHER ISSUES. NO
WONDER I'M LOSING MONEY ON THE STOCK.

Re: Fax

Since you require a modem to send a fax, and every modem I've seen comes
with fax software, why would you want to worry about no fax software within
Win?
