News Windows 7 RC to shut down bihourly from March

Give people free stuff and they still complain? Human greed knows indeed no boundaries.

Seriously though, unless you want to pay more taxes to cover the social security costs caused by ms shutting down due to not earning money you might as well just say thank you for almost a year of free windows 7 and then go buy the damn thing.

 

improper drivers were the major cause of BSOD, microsoft did everyone a favour by signing drivers (and pocketing extra on the side). It is then the manufacturers job to update their drivers to required standards, not microsofts.

 

I bet £10 that MS wil forget to disable the automatic shutdown on the rush to release Windows 7.

 

You know it's built-in, right?

 

Come on now, are you expecting Microsoft to run to your scanner manufacturer and say "Please can we make a driver for you?". I think not. Don't blame the operating system for a lack of your scanners manufacturer support. Please understand who makes what before ranting on at Microsoft for something that they have no responsibility for. As said above, Microsoft, though they do charge for it, sign drivers but only IF the manufacturer sends them to Microsoft, this assures they are compatible with the operating system. End of.

 

But that is the main problem with Vista: Bad driver support. And MS gets the blame. I won't say Vista is the Holy Grail of OS but it's nowhere near as bad as people make it.
