Microsoft warns on Vista update

Some of the programs:

BitDefender AV
Fujitsu Shock Sensor
Jiangmin KV Antivirus 10
Jiangmin KV Antivirus 2008
Trend Micro Internet Security
Zone Alarm Security Suite
Iron Speed Designer
Xheo Licensing
Free Allegiance
NYT Reader
Rising Personal Firewall
Novell ZCM Agent
 
Most of them security software (w1z4rd's list) which implies they changed some low-level doohicky, and ppl will need to purchase new versions, or upgrade their current versions...

So Vista does not turn out to be cheap after all...
 
gooi weg mense, gooi weg.

stem 100% saam, broer :D

btw - M$ claimed they are cheaper than Linux, but with stunts like these, they are turning out to be actually more expensive... and it's these so-called "hidden costs" which are NOT taken into account when drawing a comparison between M$ and Linux...

nee wat, gooi weg... :D

gooi sommer ver weg :D

Vista is a piece of ****

I installed Vista as a second OS and used it for an hour setting everything up but at the next boot up session I chose XP and never used Vista again, sometimes I forget I have it installed as a secondary OS.
 
It may be more expensive hiring competent IT staff and custom solutions for the corporate sized business but generally cheaper/free. I'm sure M$ only works a single year into their calculations of total cost of ownership. I could be wrong.
 
I always thought one of the primary purposes of an operating system is to ENABLE the running of applications!
 
Here's a warning for anybody out there using Vista updates - avoid the update KB940510
Especially if you're using a cracked copy :))
