Indeed, especially since these companies have releases early on in the Windows Dev cycle to be in the HCL.

They could at least, like Creative did(they learned their lesson when they didn't have drivers for XP), release Beta drivers. HP for instance just told us that we are SOL. They should at least have a basic set of drivers available...even if they don't support all of the fancier features, but at least allow us to use our hardware. That is very unprofessional. Lucky and unlucky isn';t a factor. If you have professional development management, they will make sure that their products are supported...again...even at a basic level. After the final is released, they can then tweak away and add final features.

Chasing the release features of Windows and Office can be a very daunting task. If you start developing/testing early in the Beta cycle, you run the risk of developing around a feature that gets removed or changed. If you start later, you run the risk of not being ready for the release. In many cases, it is not a case of Professional/Unprofessional, but Lucky/Unlucky. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 & experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:270119 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
