I hear you brother... I hear you. Guess they need scapegoats to blame if their OS crashes.

That is always the problem when you work with a Beta version of software.
And not only is the OS in beta, but so are the drivers. And bad drivers are the cause of more crashes and lockups then anything else. Just ask anybody with an NVidia card that has installed some of the bad drivers they have had this year. And you can't blame the OS if it is a driver issue. MicroSoft (or Apple, or Red Hat, etc) has no control on the drivers that are released for their OS. |

In Windows XP drivers (but not programs) have unlimited access to the system, so buggy drivers (but not buggy programs) can and do crash XP. I was simply hoping that Vista used the Linux architecture for drivers, but it appears Microsoft has chosen to use a hybrid, something that is more secure than XP, but not as secure as Linux. Well, the proof is in the pudding. Maybe Microsoft intends to be extremely restrictive with approving drivers for ring zero, or even only allow MS drivers and viruskillers to run there... but I doubt it. |
