1. Obviously a fabricated story, planted by...
...Microsoft's PR department. Everyone knows it's impossible to get a printer working with Vista. It's a basic law of physics.

File this alongside "perpetual motion machines" and "Sasquatch" in the "highly unlikely" file.

3. Urban myth.
I know it's a myth because the old lady who sold me her deceased husbands 1963 split window Corvette for $300 told me so.:silly:

5. Damn, I'm impressed! Symantec and Vista:
The 'perfect storm' of shitty software.

Also: I'm not INSANE.

10. One of the few good/easy things I did on Vista was add my upstairs
networked printer to the laptop. Didn't even need the driver. It just loaded and worked.


I know slap me... I have nothing else good to say about Vista though.

It was a Samsung 4200SCX

12. First time I've ever heard of it.
Fact is, if "man" could get Windows Vista to work AT ALL it would be worthy of LBN.
