And the point is, that you keep missing, is that it’s not MS problem. They
gave vendors Vista LONG BEFORE they ever gave them any other version of
Windows. They recognized the need for the time it would require vendors to
get up to speed. What happened? Vendors either did NOTHING or didn’t even
start until beta 2. Granted I don’t blame most of them seeing as how MS
scrapped the first project.
And the entire thing you seem to miss is that Microsoft Provided The
Drivers to ME via their product called Vista.
I didn't see anything on the box that said "drivers may not be optional
for use with Vista, even though we won't mention it during the install,
during the use, or any other time".
WRONG! When are you going to get that through your head. A vast majority
of the drivers came FROM the vendors. figure it out.
No, ALL OF THE DRIVERS CAME ON MY VISTA CD, MS Provided the Vista CD in
the package I bought - I don't care if MS got drivers from vendors, I care
that MS didn't appear to check them for quality before INCLUDING THEM WITH
VISTA.
I disagree. At least this way people are able to get up and running even if
not at the best performance mark. You have to cut the cord somewhere.
Early adopters are just going to have to deal with it. The biggest mistake
made was vendors like Dell who cut the XP cord way to early.
LOL - so you think that it's OK for Vista to provide less than optimal
drivers, and for MS to have Not Checked their quality, before MS SHIPPED
THEM TO ALL US PURCHASERS?
You've really been sucked into the Zealotry world if you think it's ok for
a vendor to sell you something that has crappy support when you've paid a
LOT for the product.
What's alternative? OSX? Oops, it only supports a handful of hardware.
Linux? Oops it supports less then Windows. What exactly are you expecting
and where have you received it?
I expected Vista, after the long history of development and testing, to
ship as Optimal, as a better OS, as a solution that provide the best of
all things it provides - you say they didn't include Optimal and that I
should accept that, well you're wrong.
