Don't call my platform buggy, friends with a brand new Dell have the same issue. If this is a typical Dell issue (like you pretend to say) maybe should Dell give support for it. I'll expect from Dell that they fully test their hardware inside out with Vista before giving to consumers. This problem could still be caused by bad drivers, a program delivered with the computer or maybe (a combination of) hardware anyway if a computer from need extra support Dell should give it consumers otherwise not sell it to consumers.
Microsoft did the right thing here I think,
It's very easy to blame Microsoft for all the problems here but who should support hardware in first place? Microsoft or the manufacture of who made the hardware?
We're 8 months now after the release of Vista many company's had time to build Vista drivers for their hardware. If I had a HP printer who doesn't support Vista, I'll blame HP for being to lazy to support my printer.
I fully understand that consumers are disappointed when hardware is not working with the newest Windows version and that they blame Microsoft for it. From a consumers union I expect that they tell consumers the truth and how things work and who to blame when things are not working. The consumentenbond takes the easy way here!
