Hi everyone
Ok, here is the vista update as many of you are writing to me with
suggestions...
1) as of January 30th all computers with XP were ordered back to manfg
to get Vista on them
2) I took my vista computer back to Walmart as did many other
customers, we were told that
Since the machine was basically working they would not take them
back and they had no
More computers with XP on them
3) called emachine and they are not allowed to sell or put XP on
anymore machines after Jan 30th
4) even though Microsoft says a minimum of 1GB RAM, eMachine (Gateway)
can sell the computer
With 512MB because the vista version on the computer is an
abbrviated version called BASIC and I would have
To pay $239.00 more for the PREMIUM VERSION or $399.00 more for
the ULTIMATE VERSION.
5) print drivers will only be upgrade by each printer mfg going back
18 months so if your printer is
Older than that, you will have to purchase a new printer to work
on Vista.
6) digital camera users will have to go thru the same thing waiting
for new drivers to become available
From your camera mfg.. And depending on the camera, mine is two
years old and will not get new
Drivers so I will have to replace my camera
7) getting thru to any of the tech supports for any computer related
product is almost impossible I am
So frustrated about holding two and 1/2 hours only to get hung up
on....
And lastly, if your new computer comes with vista you cannot format it
and use a copy of XP
Because all the chips and video cards, sound cards etc will only work
with Vista installed so that
Is definetly not an option... So I guess we all have to dig deep in
our pockets this next year to
Upgrade everything we own to Vistas specifications... Thankyou very
much bill gates, your jerk
PLEASE EMAIL THIS TO ANYONE YOU KNOW WHO IS EVEN THINKING ABOUT BUYING A
NEW COMPUTER... THE PUBLIC SHOULD KNOW THIS INFO BEFORE PURCHASING
PRODUCTS
THAT WILL CONTROL THEM AS VISTA IS DOING... THIS IS INSANITY THAT THE
COMPANIES
CAN HAVE THIS MUCH CONTROL OVER US.
