No, I sent out only two copies. This is because it is important to
owners of Vista, but also to those with XP who are thinking of
"upgrading".

This operating system is delivered BROKEN.

There is a "SERVICE PACK 1", which refuses to install itself. The
existing bug in Vista leads to the LIE that it is already installed.
The machine announces "SERVICE PACK 1 IS ALREADY INSTALLED", and with
that it aborts.

What is going on is that internally Vista is sending a code to the
Service Pack. This is a flag to say that it is NOT already installed.
Due to some form of register corruption, the flag arrives at the
Service Pack saying it IS already installed.

I was on the Internet some weeks ago, involved in a discussion with
somebody who had installed a Vista "update" onto an XP machine. It had
worked BEFORE the "upgrade", but did not work after. This is an
important warning to the XP community.

BTW, as Tyro says:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Tyro

I do not have a programming problem. I have written megabytes of code,
including an operating system. I have never had any programming
problem. On these machines, I did not run my code. They just
malfunctioned before I could begin.

A tyro would not understand that an OS problem IS a programming
problem. It is a problem with what Microsoft have programmed.

These machines have malfunctioned from the start. I have experience of
seeing the fault - including the PALE SCREEN OF DEATH - on several
Dell machines, on Asus, on Samsung and many more whose names I did not
bother to note.

The same fault, different machines. All Vista.

So it is a Vista problem.

Worldwide.

Obviously, Microsoft have not tested it.
