After all the problems with Compatibility with games and
hardware...another serious issue due to Vistas constraints is the All
in wonder video card unable to capture under vista.
Its getting to a point where your really limited to what you can do
with your pc. Vista actually takes away user choices when it comes to
downloading , copying music and videos.

Are you serious?
Don't you think it up to the hardware manufacture to write the drivers for
there hardware?
What a nut case.

So many peripheral manufacturers are having problems writing Vista drivers
that actually work, as opposed to simply writing Vista drivers, that it
would be in Microsoft's best interest to "help" write these drivers.
The small number of people for whom Vista works properly have the same point
of view as Senator McCain did about his recent shopping trip in Baghdad.

Nonsense... that would make them even lazier.
Not everyone struggles to write working code.

Evidence... chapter and verse?

Microsoft is not the experts on the hardware.
As for helping them, Microsoft did.
The major manufacturers had access to the vista code during the Beta
process but many chose to do little or nothing.
Similar happened with the release of Windows XP and will probably
happen with the next operating system release.

"The small number of people..."
Many of those checked to be sure their essential hardware and software
was compatible with Windows Vista before they ventured to change.

Windows Vista is not for everyone.
No one should consider upgrading until they have verified
compatibility with essential hardware and software.
No one is forced to upgrade.

Since ATI is responsible to their customers to support their products,
what has ATI said when you voiced this concern to ATI?
