I wonder if you are just a member or a Microsoft Employee trying to promote Vista.
I would have no issues MS promoting Vista to customers who want to use it, but what MS and manufacturers are doing is to force users to use Vista. If I have paid for my machine I would want to us it the way I want to. Not how some other blokes want me to. How can someone force me to use something I don't want to?
I have been an age old fan of both Sony and Microsoft products. Unfortunately both messed it up for themselves. Now apparently I need a new wireless router no support for Vista , new versions of exisitng software, new games for the new laptop.
The age old adage If MS built cars you'd have to build new roads everytime If I was a car manufacturer I'd sell MS a car with a crank shaft to start the engine, oars to row it on the road, a nine volt battery for the lights with a world class easy on the eye interior. Hey good user interface is all that matters for MS. Then perform a clean install of Windows XP. Thanks for your contribution Carey. However, I've been doing this stuff for 10 years and I know what I am talking about.
The XP installation does not work because the setup cannot find the hard drive in the machine. And the manufacturers "do not have the drivers" for the hardware they have supplied.. As I type this I am on hold with a Sony Vaio support and customer relations team.
One of the guy just blurted out the fact that earlier this year they had a contract with MS to supply machines with Vista and not XP. Perfect fodder for a class action suit. I am now really contemplating a class action suit. Any other users willing to join, reply to this post.
Lets see how long this list can get. I'm guessing you'll have to install Vista once again before you can install XP. Once in, pick up all the information about the existing hardware devices you can. If not at Fujitsu, you could find those drivers at Intel based on the chipset you have. Once you have those, because you don't have a floppy drive try the instructions at this link. In my opinion, SONY has a vested interest in DRM, since they own Colombia Pictures, and track record with their root kit disaster, which warrants investigation into a possible unhealthy relationship with Microsoft to build in DRM into the operating system.
This is an entertainment industry wide viewpoint as they are interested in digital rights, that is understandable. Is this why file copying and network browsing take so long?
The fact that NO drivers were developed by SONY et All, for alternate operating systems such as windows XP, seems to indicate a deliberate action, and possible collusion with Microsoft to "Lock In" licenses with Vista and ensure that any attempt by the "Licensee" That would be me, the owner of the VAIO notebook to install any alternate operating system, that does not contain DRM, would be sure to fail and discourage the "Licensee" from making a change from Vista.
Any Attorneys have any ideas about such a case? Would this invoke any anti-trust laws? I used the N Lite program. After youve added the drivers I whole heartedly agree! The company should be held accountable under antitrust laws. When we want to buy a machine we are forced into getting vista as you have strongarmed all the manufactures into installing it on there machines.. Not unlike racketeering. I have Vista Home premium and would like to be "downgraded" to XP media center.
I guess the usesrs could start a movement toward a class action suit against the company and get refunds and damages.. MY laptop is now useless after installing recomended updates on January 9, MS should pay me for all the time i put into the data that I am going to lose when I have ti wipe my disk and install XP. I would have done backups but the wicdows back up program never worked right and the system where by I had to burn my own recovery disks also failed.
The policy of not including a disk with every operating system installed is bad business. Dont give me the line that its up to th manufactures to provide the disks. Its your operating system and you have been gouging and ripping off the consumers for over 20 years now..
VISTA sucks. It came with ny new Toshiba laptop. Everything I download, no matter how I configure my system, Vista will not allow it to run. If there is to be class action suit, sign me up. The bulk of the users are Vista home premium users. Business editions can still be downgraded but what about the bulk of the users. Moreover how can MS say they are different products.
For me it is MS providing OS. If the consumer is not satisfied then they should have an alternative. The alternative here is a previous edition and not a previous product.

My nVidia driver continually crashes. If I can't find XP drivers for the computer I bought only 1. It's two years that this problem has occurred, and the only solution that Windows Help or whatever it is called, tell me to go to the Microsoft and nVidia website and download the new driver.
I have already done this, and was so unhelpful. I continue to have screen flickers and have to wait for at least seconds to get back. It's worse than a running Windows ME.
Got the Blue Screen of Death twice, and Vista was supposed to fix that. All consumers should just boycott even buying computers for a few years and see how it affects profits. Almost a year later. Any luck? This is so frustrating. Open Control Panel and double click on the "System" icon. Under the "Advanced" tab, in the "Startup and Recovery" section, click on the "Edit" button. A notepad window will open. Copy and paste the contents of that window here for me.
Posted 08 May - PM. If you already have a key that is good for 2 computers, then you can install it once on a laptop and once on a desktop. What would you need to buy? If your friend's key is good for more than one computer which I doubt , and they have not used it to its limit, then you could use it.
But be careful with that, since you have no control over what they use that key for or how many times they've used it. It would be better to get your own. Reply to quoted posts Clear. Downloads View all categories Upload file New files since last visit Files from past 7 days.
