Clever move of theirs, but as the article says: test persons had not to install it on their own hardware.

:rotfl:

Microsoft wastes their time doing stuff like that instead of actually fixing Vista

Typical...

They do fixing, rest assured. They fix their customers.

I know we've been here before but it's just an operating system all it has to do is find your program and let it run. Instead it's bogged down with telling the time and showing a picture of your pet whilst your not sat there doing something. Bring back CPM I say.

Thx Skybird for article post.

The problem I have with Vista is besides the bad posts it gets from some of the members is it wants to tell me what to do instead of me being in control.

Example : Silent Hunter can't be installed in Programs to work as I hear it.

On XP I put it where I want to. No BS, or work around or any other crap. I'm in control.

I'm sure there's other issues I could site but, this alone makes me hesitant to spend money on something I'm probably going to hate.

Your imput please ?
