Vista Bug Costs Users In Swedish Town Their Internet

Posted by samzenpus on from the no-net-for-you dept.

Lund, Sweden refuses to work around a Vista bug, so people who live there must choose between Vista and internet access. It's nice to see the right people being held accountable for a change.

    Either MS broke Vista or the TCP/IP stack is less functional than before. Ding, we have a winner. Vista's networking stack is indeed less functional than XP's. Why? Simple. XP's was borrowed from BSD; Vista's is Microsoft's own, untested stack. See http://www.twit.tv/sn51 for details.
