it does work...simply and plainly
never blame the software OS maker for something a hardware maker chooses to do...unless you want to be ignorant.
An OS and it's maker is not responsible for whatever does or does not want to run on it...MS had stumbling blocks getting it's own software apps fully Vista compliant.
If you can't get something to work, you can usually blame yourself if you are honest....
Vista may not be the definitive best thing to all people, but there is nothing wrong with it being the best thing in some people's eyes...much like the beauty of individual thoughts and opinions. Use whatever else you think is better...nothing is perfect.
