It's not so much as putting the cart in front of the horse as making sure
your not using a pony to pull a lead wagon or a norfolk shire to pull a
feather weight. My point is that communication between these people is needed.
My other point is that there are people who have (rightfully) paid for good
quality antivirus programs and that means an effective loss of money to those
people. (Myself included.) For Microsoft to release a potential upgrade
without notifying users of the possible effects doesn't fill me with hope for
future upgrades.
I use multiple non-Microsoft software, and if a future upgrades may cause
those programs to not work properly then I will be mighty displeased ( to say
the least!!) and will have to spend a lot of time ( and time is money!) to
resolve the problem. I would therefore prefer to use an OS that is stable and
has the ability to be compliant with other programs.
So forget the cart and the horse. We are talking about technology that is
much more advanced and therefore requires a fair greater understanding of the
individual components. If you want to stick with horses and carts go back to
windows 98!
There are not enough horses heads to go around.
This problem..only started for me in the last two weeks. The outlook
communicator? plug-in was working very well... Even though I have been
using 360. I became very tired of uninstalling and installing
OneCare.....because of all the problems.... That is another MS owned,
subscribed...disaster.
Vista is so not-compatible with other software...hardware....etc... I would
and should have stayed with XP. It took only 7 years to get that OS
working.... If it ain't broke..don't try to fix it.
(Fortunately there are programmers who are offering software ....running
vista...that restore programs and at least the scanners, printers,
etc....WHICH VISTA THRUST UPON US... FOR INSTANCE: VueScan.....Hamirick
online offers software that makes my three old scanners work...and my old
printers...that Vista saw not to support. I had been using Outlook
2007..with the plug-in for other than POP-servers..... and my (MS) hotmail
account was being displayed in in outlook.
There may be work arounds.... we need a Microsoft Works....that works....
Not trashing Vista...only stating what has been my biggest dissapointment
since I began using MS back about 1980. I have had to learn many ways to
workaround... We do not buy products...we have to workaround. I am a
diabetic.
My software for my Ultra II readings....worked well with XP. Now ...those
programmers are having difficulty being validated by Vista...as others who
provided that great help for me and my doctor....with results..I could
download from the meter....and email to my doctor... or just print for me to
track my blood sugar.
Don't tell me not to complain about Vista compatibility.... That is a
health problem which can be fatal. Tell me Vista Cares about us. I
don't think so.
If other programmers such as Hamrick...can provide software to make the
non-compatible scanners, printers....etc...work using Vista...... Vista is
not smart enough to do that?
