I cannot vouch for it's accuracy, but it appears correct to me. Don Hi everyone Ok, here is the vista update as many of you are writing to me with suggestions... 1) as of January 30th all computers with XP were ordered back to manfg to get Vista on them 2) I took my vista computer back to Walmart as did many other customers, we were told that Since the machine was basically working they would not take them back and they had no More computers with XP on them 3) called emachine and they are not allowed to sell or put XP on anymore machines after Jan 30th 4) even though Microsoft says a minimum of 1GB RAM, eMachine (Gateway) can sell the computer With 512MB because the vista version on the computer is an abbrviated version called BASIC and I would have To pay $239.00 more for the PREMIUM VERSION or $399.00 more for the ULTIMATE VERSION. 5) print drivers will only be upgrade by each printer mfg going back 18 months so if your printer is Older than that, you will have to purchase a new printer to work on Vista. 6) digital camera users will have to go thru the same thing waiting for new drivers to become available From your camera mfg.. And depending on the camera, mine is two years old and will not get new Drivers so I will have to replace my camera 7) getting thru to any of the tech supports for any computer related product is almost impossible I am So frustrated about holding two and 1/2 hours only to get hung up on.... And lastly, if your new computer comes with vista you cannot format it and use a copy of XP Because all the chips and video cards, sound cards etc will only work with Vista installed so that Is definetly not an option... So I guess we all have to dig deep in our pockets this next year to Upgrade everything we own to Vistas specifications... Thankyou very much bill gates, your jerk PLEASE EMAIL THIS TO ANYONE YOU KNOW WHO IS EVEN THINKING ABOUT BUYING A NEW COMPUTER... THE PUBLIC SHOULD KNOW THIS INFO BEFORE PURCHASING PRODUCTS THAT WILL CONTROL THEM AS VISTA IS DOING... THIS IS INSANITY THAT THE COMPANIES CAN HAVE THIS MUCH CONTROL OVER US. ============================================================================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm ============================================================================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm ============================================================================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm
