[digitalradio] Re:Vista
What a stupid question If Icom comes out with a new radio why let HRO sell the older models. Of course you can get XP still. The idea is you have a choise. Some people like there new Pro3 and others still like thier Kenwood 820. Yes Vista has some bugs, Its new and they need feedback from people to fix them. If Ford comes out with a new truck they have recalls. In computers it called updates. Radios call it firmware updates. I also have a Computer business and I recemmend Vista as it is the newest OS and it is here to stay. People that are running XP dont need to update but if getting new they should have the newest OS on the market.

But if Vista is so much of an upgrade from XP why did MS allow vendors to go back and offer XP as an option, or why are the vendors themselves offering XP along with Vista. I have a good friend who runs a computer business and he does not recommend Vista, but will install it if the customer wants it. I still standby my view, that Vista has too many bugs in it still for me to change to it from XP Kurt K8YZK __ __ Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your home page. http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
[digitalradio] Vista
I have been sitting here reading all this things about Vista. Now lets go back to when XP was new. Everyone said and wrote all this stuff about XP. Before that it was Win98 and so on. I am heavy into the computer industry and a programmer. Most all of the people that write all this neg about Vista have no idea about what they are talking about. Vista is a good program and is superior to XP. If people take the time to update drivers and software that is normaly free they would have no problems. But they would rather grip. I run MANY Ham related programs and have updated and no problems. The one's that are not updated yet are being worked on by the software makers. The amount of work involved in a new OS is behond the comprihention of most all people. If you think this is wrong sit down right now and write a program that will play a simple card game. Now imagine what goes into a program as complex as Vista or XP. As far as he goverment goes they are happy with Vista as they are he one's who requested to have all the security features in the Vista. Do you really think Bill Gates makes a new OS and does not talk to them as for as what they want. Think people... No matter who makes a new program knows it will have bugs. They turn it lose on the public becouse instead of having just the Microsoft crew give reports they have the world. When people give reports on the OS they mke changes. Thats what a update is. If they did not do it this way we would all be using DOS. Would that not be fun. My suggestion for those that cant come of age is to devise and write the code for a program that is just for Ham programs. That will keep you busy for the next 5 years and that is if you can write code. So stop gripping and learn the program becouse XP will be gone in a few years and then a new OS will out and this will all start again. Lane, N7ZXP
