Comments on: Windows Vista the Protection Monster … and at which costs! http://blog.hexagonstar.com/windows-vista-the-protection-monster-and-at-which-costs/ "Chaotic Neutral" Fri, 30 Jul 2010 17:50:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Need more reason to NOT use Vista? at H1DD3N.R350URC3 http://blog.hexagonstar.com/windows-vista-the-protection-monster-and-at-which-costs/comment-page-1/#comment-550 Need more reason to NOT use Vista? at H1DD3N.R350URC3 Thu, 25 Jan 2007 03:41:19 +0000 http://blog.hexagonstar.com/windows-vista-the-protection-monster-and-at-which-costs/#comment-550 [...] … If you use a Logitech mouse you already got it! The company now officially made it clear on their support forums that there will be no support for Mouseware for Windows Vista. Instead they point their customers to use the generic mouse driver that ships with Vista. But have they told you that the mouse movement is much slower with that one, even on highest speed? Or that the middle mouse button will not work? I like my MX310 and don’t plan to buy a new one just for Vista because this mouse fits like a glove. The same goes for my soundcard. M-Audio hasn’t made any official statement about a Vista driver so far. One might thank Microsoft for this mess because of their ridicolous protection mechanisms but then again companies like Wacom prove that developing Vista drivers for existing hardware isn’t impossible. Seems like Logitech jumped onto the ‘all new and shiny’ banwagon by presenting their newest Vista supporting products instead of writing some drivers for their existing customers! Oh right! I forgot to tell them that some customers like me are left handers and don’t want to use an ergonimic right hander mouse! No Vista for me until this driver mess has seriously improved, and definitely no Logitech products for me for a while, thanks! [...] [...] … If you use a Logitech mouse you already got it!

If I even move to Vista, it won't be for a while (SP1). Remember the old expression - "Fools Rush In". for about the last 10 years, MS operating systems have not been something they got right on the first try.

I was looking forward to playing DX10 games, but for now that is not looking likely. I would never use, much less PAY, for an operating system that decides what I can and can't do at every single turn.

It's not us. Developers have known for a few years now about the driver horrors and DRM that are running under Vista's hood. The average Circuit City/Best Buy user doesn't have a clue. And, I think that's exactly how MS wants to keep it. IMO, the unfortunate thing is that MS knows their target audience with Vista. It’s not us.
