Windows Vista? No Thanks!
Published December 13, 2006Nice review of the upcoming Micro$oft operating system from the Wired News webmagazine:
Why You Don’t Need Vista Now!
My favourite part of the article:
When I tried to plug in my peripherals, my troubles with Vista began. Since I was missing a 5.1 sound driver for my speakers, an audio device error screen appeared when I connected speakers to the PC. I had to plug in a set of headphones in place of my speakers to get the sound to work.
Also, Vista didn’t recognize my Hewlett-Packard Deskjet 5150 printer when it ran the initial peripheral-compatibility check. When I tried to load the printer driver software anyway, it would not install. A Google search did not reveal any readily available drivers, so I gave up. I ran into the same problem when I tried to install my Logitech webcam — the driver wouldn’t load.
Excellent work, uncle Bill! :D
