You've obviously never had to provide software support to anybody using Vista.

This really depends upon: * What hardware has been installed; * What version of vista is being used; * How that version of vista has been configured; * What other software has been installed; * Various other random factors, that I've forgotten; (With both WinXP and Vista, if I can't fix the problem in ten minutes, I fix it by burning the data to DVD, and chaning the OS to Linux. The sole exception is if the person has a11y needs, and that is only because WinXP has slightly better a11y input capability than Linux has. Speech input is the major stumbling block.) > Should I make an issue about the many users who have complained about font > issues under Ubuntu? Probably, if The font issues in Unbuntu need to be filed in the Ubuntu issuezilla, becuase those are real problems. xan jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
