Re: Vista .. other issues



Tell him tough noogies, don't install beta software on a production machine.
:) I'm semi-responsible for the network/hardware around here (lack of
someone else to do it more than inclination/training/career), and if anyone
came whining to me about their machine not working properly while running a
beta OS, I'd be pretty un-sympathetic. Like "Here's your XP disc, go do a
new install..." Now, if a year from now, when we've rolled out Vista as a
standard and they have the problem, that's a different issue. Of course, if
we roll it out without doing appropriate testing, that's our fault, not the
end users.

BTW, are you reporting your issues to the Vista beta groups, or just in
here? I haven't been following the beta groups, since I haven't installed
my copy yet. I'm pretty sure the beta groups exist already.

True, but try telling that to Professor BigPants when
he calls you to his office, and his Dual Opteron won't
access his own web page :-)
