Visited a friend yesterday to show them how to capture video on his new laptop with Vista. As a 12 year Mac user my Windows knowledge is very limited and usually makes me stressed.
Vista looks very nice and plugging in the fast external Firewire hard drive everything was going well. Connected the 3 month old Sony camcorder and up pops a screen every 2 minutes saying it was looking for drivers and none found. Go to Sony website and no driver for Vista
Ah, he said that happened when he tried to connect his phone, PDA, scanner
OK, we'll move on to compression and download DIVX. Go to website and no version for Vista.
Seems like a good OS but limited 3rd party support so maybe worth waiting 6 months

Well it was expected to be released in 2003 but took 5 and a half years and several billion dollars so I'm surprised to see this happen. Must be really annoying for anyone who buys a new computer like he did http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developmen ... dows_Vista
