Vista : Now we've broken everything

More Windows Vista Problems for Korean Firms


Some MP3 players are experiencing glitches with computers on which Microsoft’s new operating system Windows Vista has been installed. MP3 players acquire music files by connecting to the computer, but the new operating system fails to recognize some players


Ok... so ... xp would work on these mp3 players but not vista ? so ... backwards compatability was simply thrown in the trash and instead you made up a hit list of people who pay you to make their stuff work and people who don't ? Have you considered putting out a simple "standard" way of connecting to any mp3 device ? Noo.... can't do that. No money to be made there ....


Meanwhile, some financial institutions and Internet portals are working on their websites to make them compatible with the new OS, as Internet banking and electronic payment services were found to be unavailable on computers that operate Windows Vista.


So... standardization is completely out the window here, you just make any changes you like to the new OS and it's up to the whole wide world to adapt to your lead.

Any other industry would be sued on the spot for sabatage. Especially since you forced your new browser down everyones throat and it doesnt' work on half the computers out there. What is this business about a 2am security patch not just patching security , but deciding to toss the old internet explorer and install a brand spaking new broken and non-working right out of the box internet explorer 7 ? Sheesh ! I'd sue you but I turned that stuff off long ago and was never victomized.
