Susan said:You have got to be kidding. I have vista home premium but I still need to
send and receive faxes!!!! I had this capability with XP, and I am very
upset
that it is not available with Vista which I just installed yesterday Feb
3.
Does Microsoft believe that home users never receive or send faxes? What
are
my options? How am I to view the faxes I have saved in my documents? I
urgently need to have this capability on my computer and I am sure I am
not
alone in this need.
Russ, sorry I'm not as astute as you are. Your reply however, is not
helpful. A slap on the wrist might make some feel superior, but without any
concrete suggestions to add to the string, is nothing more than a slap on the
wrist, best to keep the chastising to yourself - it makes you sound smug.
The bottom line is that the program is lacking a fundamental communications
tool and without user input the developers will not know what areas need to
be addressed and included in future service packs.

It's doubtful, Microsoft, as far as i know, haven't supplied the fax
software as a separate item for other versions of Windows operating
systems.
You may have to look at third party fax applications for this one.
Alternatively you would have to look to buying Vista Business or Ultimate
instead of Premium.

sometime for the other versions of Vista?
Fax facility is only available in Vista Business, Enterprise and

Word 2007 provides plenty of fax cover templates but still relies, as
far
as i know, on the fax software of Vista Business, Enterprise and
Ultimate. It doesn't contain a fax application on its own.

guys, please stop. I came to ask a question, perhaps find a solution from
another party and I get only attitude.
Is this a community area for regular windows users to ask questions and
hopefully get some decent advise or is this only for professional types who
follow software development? I haven't been following the development of
Vista for a year, nor do I feel that I have to. Microsoft has a long standing
goal of selling operating systems that everyone can use, and I believe I am
in the group of everyone. I am not whining.
Can you tell me where on the Vista box it says no fax? I also don't see it
on the side by side comparison that is designed to help people make a choice.
I'm not seeing it. Also, I upgraded from XP home and the problem is with
Vista not working with the fax software that worked with XP. I have a Dell
XPS--only five months old, but I'm sure a patch is forthcoming.

I'm gonna have to side with Susan on this one. Lots of people here are
quick to point out that fax isn't included with the Home Premium edition by
pointing out the link, or say "you should have read the features before you
bought it" but likely these are the same people that didn't even know fax
was included in Windows XP and Windows 2000.
Even Bill Gates said most people are going to buy Home Premium...not
Business and not Ultimate. Its the average person that uses the built in
fax in Windows to send the occasional fax. By removing this, they are
pissing off a lot of Home Premium customers expecting that Windows Vista
Home Premium is going to do everything Windows XP did, only better.

Word 2007 provides plenty of fax cover templates but still
relies, as far
as i know, on the fax software of Vista Business, Enterprise and
Ultimate. It doesn't contain a fax application on its own.

Will some form of FAXing and scanning be available in the Home
Premium
edition or only in the business edition.
I have need for both of these features but do not want the
business
edition.
Maybe they are available in the Office 2007 standard suite?
Thanks in advance. Bob.
Russ Valentine said:I understand your point and am sympathetic. It seems to me, however, that
the decision to upgrade one's entire OS needs to be made more carefully and
thoughtfully than it often is. The feature set comparison among Vista
versions is not hard to find. The fact that fax is absent in Vista Home
versions is well documented on Microsoft's own site as well:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/footnotes.mspx
In reality modem faxing is a feature that is used so little by most users
that it was nearly eliminated entirely from both Windows XP and Vista. To
my surprise, the Vista Fax module is the most useful and robust of any of
the Microsoft Fax offerings so far. How reliable it is remains to be seen
now that it has been released in the wild.
For users like Susan who unwittingly leapt to Vista Home expecting it
still to have fax capabilities, they can still purchase a standalone fax
machine for less than the cost differential between Vista Home and
Ultimate.
Caveat emptor.

G said:I'm gonna have to side with Susan on this one. Lots of people here are
quick to point out that fax isn't included with the Home Premium edition
by pointing out the link, or say "you should have read the features
before you bought it" but likely these are the same people that didn't
even know fax was included in Windows XP and Windows 2000.
Even Bill Gates said most people are going to buy Home Premium...not
Business and not Ultimate. Its the average person that uses the built
in fax in Windows to send the occasional fax. By removing this, they are
pissing off a lot of Home Premium customers expecting that Windows Vista
Home Premium is going to do everything Windows XP did, only better.
bjr said:It's detailed in the Windows Vista Product guide, which tells you
everything you ever wanted to know about Vista - a large but free
download from Microsoft.

You have got to be kidding. I have vista home premium but I still
need to
send and receive faxes!!!! I had this capability with XP, and I am
very upset
that it is not available with Vista which I just installed
yesterday Feb 3.
Does Microsoft believe that home users never receive or send faxes?
What are
my options? How am I to view the faxes I have saved in my
documents? I
urgently need to have this capability on my computer and I am sure
I am not
alone in this need.
:
It's doubtful, Microsoft, as far as i know, haven't supplied the
fax
software as a separate item for other versions of Windows
operating systems.
You may have to look at third party fax applications for this one.
Alternatively you would have to look to buying Vista Business or
Ultimate
instead of Premium.

Alan Morris said:I am a printer guy so I don't fax. When I have to, I am worthless around
one. None the less there are plenty of people who are good at this
function. I contacted one of the Fax guys who was around when the decision
for where fax lives was finalized. The developers and project managers of
Fax want fax on every version of Windows that is shipped. Marketing group
had a difference of opinion and won the contest. There was lots of
discussion but in the end devs lost this battle.
"
This was always a controversial topic and tons of discussion took place
around this subject. It was always seen as a very valuable asset to sell
to small businesses and this influenced the SKU decision making. At some
point there was going to be a small biz SKU and that is where fax had the
most value.

Will some form of FAXing and scanning be available in the Home
Premium
edition or only in the business edition.
I have need for both of these features but do not want the
business
edition.
Maybe they are available in the Office 2007 standard suite?
Thanks in advance. Bob.
