How's Vista doing? Analysts say it's fine; users still annoyed

| Chris Pirillo leaned away from his webcam and pointed to his
| printer/scanner/fax machine, which stopped scanning and faxing after he
| installed Microsoft Corp.'s new Windows Vista operating system.
|
| "I can't live in Vista if the software that I use in my life for productivity
| does not work," said Pirillo, in the third minute of a 52-minute video he
| posted on YouTube.

| crashing on the Xbox 360, Microsoft has deleted the long thread, now stating
| that it’s “exclusive content for registered forum users” only. However, the
| thread was removed entirely, even to registered members.

Let Microsoft know they need to fix their search engine

| Many posts and pages turn up that link to BadVista.org, but no
| results from badvista.org itself appear...

| technical problem with the interaction between their search
| bots and our site.
