Re: NON AVAILABILITY OF FAX OPTION IN WINDO VISTA BASIC



Windows Millennium had no fax software. Time for you to return to
the turkey flock you came from. You are certainly no eagle!

I would buy your explanation EXCEPT that when in all other versions of Windows were you blocked from faxing?

Hint: NEVER!

I went to HP to try and download appropriate drivers. HP says," Vista already contains needed drivers." I've hated Vista for a long time. XP remains infinately superior mainly due to the lack of bait-and-switch as opposed to it being the reason for Vista's existance.

Vista's other maddening defense is that unless you drop a bundle not only will not let you replace it, it won't even let you erase it.

I had recently purchased a new computer and I thought 'Soft may have corrected this crap. Especially when it first came out I thought that they just came out a couple of years to early with it with it and just didn't get the bugs out. Oddly enough I was able to fax with it. Imagine my surprise when I found out that I sucks more now!!

As far as needing a more elaborate version, I don't recall that faxing was just a use of business?

You are just a little arrogant.

I feel it is down right cheating that Vista Basic don't have faxing facilities where as all older editions had faxing facilities.

And I think that's simply nonsense. When you buy a product, whether an
operating system, a car, or anything else, especially when it comes in
several different models, it's incumbent upon you to do the research,
find out what features come with each model, and choose the one that
meets *your* needs. It sounds to me like you simply failed to do your
homework, and got the wrong product; that's nobody's fault but your
own.

The reason that there are several different editions of Vista is so
each person can choose which feature set he needs. and not have to pay
for more than he needs. Not everyone needs faxing capability, and
those that don't need it shouldn't be made to pay for it.

Why don't you write to Mr. Toyota and complain that your Corolla
doesn't have some feature that my Camry has?


I request that free down load is given to all vista basic buyers
