Re: Camera Card Reader

AIUI, it is based on Vista so that anything which works today
will continue to work. It may be that there's a setting to turn
down the security in Vista to allow older drivers to work - a
let the customer take the risk switch!

Sorry, but if it is even minorly based on Vista, I want NO part of
it. I am NOT in the business of beta testing with my Visa card and
while I understand that you and many others say they've seen no
problems, I have many friends who are so angry at it's complete
inability to run certain key applications or certain legacy
hardware devices that they are paying extra to have XP retrofitted
onto new PCs.

Microsoft needs to take a fresh page look at it's O/S direction and
get it through their think heads that many/most people have the
romantic view that computers are to do useful work for THEM and NOT
to play a hobbyist's game of "will this new bug fix really make it
work this time?" In any event, I would NEVER buy any all-new O/S
until at least the first SP.

It's claimed that many, if not most, of the bugs are in the
3rd-party software including drivers, rather than in Windows
itself. I don't disbelieve that.

If people believe that, I have some ocean front property to sell
them in Arizona! Windows by far is THE #1 reason for slowdowns of
even fast PCs and the minor or catastrophic failure of hundreds of
apps, utilities, and HW drivers to work rendering it useless to
their users.

My comments aren't in any way a refutement of your opinion or
experience, David. They're only a statement of MY opinion.

Cheers, and enjoy your Christmas!
