I am soooooo pissed at Vista
-
Ok, I get home tonight after a couple of robot meetings and settle down to relax and read the SB. I try to move some stuff to my desktop (XP Pro) computer upstairs and low and behold, it isn't in my network places. I can see another Vista computer though. Rebooting my desktop and refreshing everything produced zip. So I check the restore points and find I had an update yesterday. I don't remember telling Bill he could update my computer yesterday but maybe I forgot. I restore back to Monday and suddenly my network is intact again. This is the THIRD fucking time Microsoft has done this to me. Can't the do a simple update without destroying my networking ability? Incompetent shits.

Is any of the versions a Home version? If so, you're f-d sometimes (if not most of the times).

Don't blame the product. Blame the idiots that developed it and the updates. Don't blame Bill (it's too late, he's out of the loop and spending all his time giving away money he stole from all of us), blame that fat, sweaty, obnoxious idiot he left running the company (Hell, it's probably all his fault for insisting on that insane collection of different versions of the same shit just so he could charge more money for those who actually needed functionality, and sell a brain-dead version to the unsuspecting)...

It's yer fault for installing it. I didn't install it even when they gave me some free Vista CDs along with that MVP thingie last year. I did not even try it out. The reviews convinced me to stay away from it. I plan to remain with XP until they come up with something better.

Send them to me, I'll put them to good use.

Yes. My old laptop died fairly quickly and I took a refurbed unit instead of waiting for Dell to build one to order. Vista Home was what was on it.

Well, Bill is responsible for the corporate culture at Microsoft and he's hardly take a vow of poverty. Vista was on his watch as Chief Software Architect.

That's how I fixed it the first time. Ok, I had to spend a bunch of time searching to find that the first time, too, what do they care. But the last two times are on Microsoft. And I'm not sure I like the implication of the *sigh*. :suss:

No, it's their fault for selling a crappy product. My old laptop died and I needed a quick replacement. That's what it came with. Hope you didn't break your arm patting yourself on the back.

Sorry just tired of posting the same thing. Vista and XP do not talk to each other without patching XP because the entire network industry has been moving to new transponder interchange, Vista is based on this change, XP is older and doesn't understand this without an additional utility. It's XP's age, not Vista, as in this case Microsoft is simply following the rest of the industry.
