My posts don't seem to get through lately. Would someone please just
comment if you see this?
What a waste of bandwidth. It would be much more efficient to ask for a
comment from someone who does NOT see it.

Are you or the article saying that Vista won't read files that are on the
camera? If it will display them, I can simply move them, right? Are you
saying that Vista won't recognize files from a camera plugged into a USB
port?
That may be what the other person is saying, but it's not true.
many cameras will need firmware/software upgrades to be Vista compatible and
some won't
work at all...
Just for the record, I have used six different cameras with Vista, and they
were all
compatible, including one that dates back to the previous century.
So, as usual, you left just a few bits out.
They mention that some major camera makers have no plans to upgrade their
cameras to work
with Vista.
They mention major camera makers? They mention Sigma. They don't mention
Canon, Nikon,
Olympus, Kodak, Sony, Pentax, Panasonic, Fuji, Casio, HP, or

resolutions, minimal overhead for format conversions or transformations.

Exactly. Your response to the member's question was NOT on topic. It was just
more MS
bashing. The question was, should I upgrade from XP to Vista?; your response
was that
(a) MS needs the money and (b) hasn't had an original idea in years. How,
exactly, is that
