I am just about this (||) close to trashing Vista now. One more feature I need tonight was standard in XP but is now only included in Vista Business and Ultimate. I need to talk to the government, and damn me if I don't have to fax something. I don't (like many others) have a facsimile at home. Why would I ever need one if I have a computer, right? Ha! If I had one it would be out in the shed, and I'd have to go dig it out about once every two years. I found my workaround in XP when I started using the Windows Fax Wizard. Why wouldn't it be in Vista?
I guess it's in the Business and Ultimate editions because those folks, after buying their new software licenses, can't afford a damn fax machine anymore. The fortunate kids who saved a couple of hundred on a good cheap laptop with Home Premium will have to forgo the fax and buy another clunky piece of junk to use once per American marriage.
I'm now going to use CutePDF to get a portable document and e-mail those deprecated people at the State Department of Revenue.
