Why did Microsoft decide to take out the fax program when they came up with
Vista Premium? I enjoyed it with XP Home, and really can't understand that
decision. (I know it comes with Vista Ultimate, but you didn't have to have
XP Pro to have it)

Click to expand...

because they want you to pay extra dollars to get ultimate? lol

they had to give ultimate something more than home premium and im not
talking about the extras that are up till now not so many....

I think the public was cheated. Fax should have been in home premium for the
simple reason that businesses usually have machine faxes.. but a home user
doesn't have a separate machine and relies on the computer to play the role
of the fax...

Thumbs down on vista for one more time
 
It seems they are always taking out something with new versions. With XP
they removed the Kodak OCX's which resulted in another purchase of 150.00
per computer for those with programs that used these.

I use the Fax all the time in my XP machine. Fortunately, the Snappyfax
program is far superior so for 30.00 I don't intend to pay the price to move
up to Ultimate. I am not sure if the Remote Desktop server is on this Vista
Premium since I only use the client to access my computer at the office.
 
no the remote desktop server does not exist on home premium, but it was the
same as XP too.. only pro had that

can you tell me a little more about that kodak ocx's? why did people have to
purchase something extra?
 
These were controls that a program developer could use to put imaging
routines into an application.

For example, I used this in my program to scan in documents, insurance, etc.
for each of my cust records, saves all kinds of time filing and can be
instantly retrieved.
