Vista RTM? Where do I file BUGS?

[Jeff]

Yo,
Well,
Runnin RTM-for the time being.
Where do ya file BUGS that were NEVER fixed?
Or just give up?
OMG there are OBVIOUS easy ones;that were NEVER addressed, at all.(even
though they were pointed out, and bugged-"officially"in the managed beta;
and through CPP)
And I'm not speaking of technical stuff either.
Like spellcheck in Windows mail, WMP11 playing after you close the gui, not
being able to connect ot a network printer;even though Vista and XP see each
other;and share everything else,etc.
Not to mention; that ABOMINATION of an icon for WMP11.
WTF?
After it's all said and done;I GOTTA AGREE WITH CHAD- A f'in joke; when
it comes to listening to beta testers.
I don't care if ya were in the private beta; (and have prima donna
attitudes-like some here),
or in the CPP;
some of this stuff is so obvious;
it's shameful.
Really.
Not kiddin.
Who do I contact over this?
It's ridiculous.

You don't need mere luck... you need a miracle of cosmic proportions

Yo Jeff--

Ain't you ever been in no bars or at no dances what they have lots of pigs
with lipstick smeared on 'em crooked?

Cause dats what I done been sayin' the Redmond campus aristocrats done with
Vista. Like the former administration in control of the Senate and House in
the US who got booted out, they be thinkin' people is real stoopid.

The way to fix RTM bugs is not to buy it.

Chad,
Against all odds- I had the irrational thought that maybe;just maybe;
they'de do right.
Well;
that's my own fault-thinking!!
Hi; btw

My Deeeeeetroit roots showing earlier- LOL

LOL--

Go to the store and look at the goofey ridiculous zune where you can zune
zap another zunster and the moozack (after Zack Robinson on the WMP team)
expires real fast. Where DRM is absurd. Whose functionality is a fraction
of an Ipod. The product that spent the week getting a new scroll wheel torn
on it by nearly every reviewer.

MSFT the cutting edge company advancing the concept from the middle ages of
one device one music download source/store.

Or in other words MSFT narrowly limiting peoples' options instead of opening
new horizons and whoopsie daisey new Vistas. New Vistas was that clever or
what?

All by myself new Vistas.

Could the people who worked on the Zune teams be more goofey and short
sited? I think they are the poster children for tin ear.

Yo Redmond Zunsters how could you be so ridiculous? Did you work at it?

J Allard he of the many millions in Softie soft stock has brought you this
absurd set of circumstances

1) It can zap a tune to another zunster in the zunster homie club but while
songs take 15 seconds or so to transfer Songs take about 15 seconds to
transfer, transferred songs can be played only three times in three days
before they disappear. Let me translate--this is called trialware music. I
love one feature though so indicative of the new era of social networking.
Another zunster can block your zune zaps permanantly if they don't think
your musical tastes are hip for them.

2) How very ironic that lol upon lol Brian Lee Corporate VP Entertainment at
MSFT bragged that when the Zune teams moved into part of the Xbox complex
and later into Bear Creek there were symbolically no walls because there
sure as hell are a ton of them in the horrendously conceived Zune. What an
embarassment for softie soft and Toshiba. Not even Toshiba's formidable
research arm could talk sense into greedy MSFT.

You can play a transmitted song only three times, all within three days.
After that guess what? You can go to the MSFT store and buy it.

If you play a few seconds of the song, it counts as one play. You can't
resend the same song to the first zunster you sent it to, and that lucky
recipient, your zunster homie can't transmit the song on. LOL MSFT Is
paranoid of passing their trialware music around.

MSFT encourages you to send the song of your band via Zune, but in 3 days no
one would have anything left of it.

3) MSFT under a barrage of criticism has begun now blaming their partners
for all the glitches in Zune true to form.

4) MSFT peddled PlaysforSure and screwed thousands of people who bought it
as it crazily introduces yet a third music standard in addition to Itunes in
shutting down their PlaysforSure music store this past week.

5) I can load my Nano with WMP library in seconds, but lol not a Zune.
Correct me if I get all mixed up, but WMP and Zune come from MSFT aka Softie
Soft don't they? And icing on the cake--they RTM'd Vista and the next week
RTM'd Zune and Zune doesn't work with Vista yet. How brilliant. Someone
send Allard and Stevenson the Nobel Prize for entertainment vision.

6) And get a load of that scroll whell on the Zune. It's a head fake dummy
wheel. It doesn't do much of anything. It doesn't turn so it doesn't scroll.
It hides 4 buttons and it is apparently a direct imitation of an Ipod
without the functionality. Beautiful. And scrolling is erratic on the
Zune.

7) Photos are shrunken and oriented the wrong way.

8) Turning on the wifi antenna runs the battery down an hour.

9) Radio reception on the Zune is horrifically bad. It so sucks.

Ah the Zune. The forced downgrade of anyone who already invested in any
"plays for sure" music scheme (doesn't play so sure now does it?) with a
music player that already failed the first time it was launched by its
manufacturer. And available in attractive and stylish brown.

I'm not saying the ipod is perfect itself, but I don't think I'll be trading
up my ipod video for a Zune.

Jeff, Don't Bother Reporting Bugs On RTM Unless You Have A Legal Copy Of It
(From MS Connect, MSDN, Tech Net Plus, etc. etc. etc.)

P.S. The Pirated Copies Of RTM Were Tampered With According To Neowin.net
(Check Sum's Don't Match).

 

[Robert wilkens]

Not True:

Thanks to RTM I upgraded my working x86 machine to Vista finally.

Then I ran into a bunch of blue screens which automatically reported all the
private information I have to microsoft.

However, microsoft (In "Problems & solutions") came back with a solution
saying my Logitech QuckCam driver was causing at least SOME of my blue
screens, even though I haven't had the damn thing plugged in for over 3
years and am not even sure where it is.

I didn't even have to pay support, and they told me what was wrong, nice.

-Rob

 

[Chad Harris]

Absolutely true. I'm fully aware of every capability Vista has. There are
many many significant bugs and your one favorable instance with the LQC is
not representative of any of what I referenced. Spend another year with
it--I've had 16 months.

[Jeff]

Ah Chad,
Give em a week or two more at least!!

LOL
