I just nuked an XP installation and installed Ubuntu. XP's silly BSOD
said it was a hardware problem and it wouldn't boot into Normal or Safe
Mode. I wiped XP and installed Ubuntu and Ubuntu had NO problem with the
hardware and the client, needless to say, was thrilled.

Considering that the OP was talking about a scanner and a camera, again,
what's your point? What low priced, POS camera do you suggest?

You spent five grand on a Dell? LOL!

All my hardware works very well under Ubuntu, thank you very much. That
can't be said for Vista, as we all know.

Cheers.

What's "affordable" about needing to run a 5 grand computer just to get
Vista to run at an acceptable speed? Can you chew peanuts and think at the
same time?

Cheers.

Yeah pretty much. Trust me Vista looks cool and the rest is down
hill. Stay with XP.

How would a fukkin loser like you know you moron.
You don't even use Vista...you queen of idiots!
Frank
 
No, you can stay with Windows XP.
Or dual boot windows XP/Vista.
Or you may need to purchase a new camera and scanner.

Are you sure the camera will not work in Windows Vista?
There is less that needs to be done for an older camera to work in
windows Vista.

Do you have access to a Windows Vista computer some place?
Simply connect the camera and power on and see if you can move the
pictures.

Try the scanner also.
Sometimes when the manufacturer says no, it works anyways.

You make no sense in your post.
But, most of what you post is either senseless or blind bias lacking
in facts.
It is noted that although there are a few of your posts in this
thread, as is typical of you, you did NOTHING to help the OP with a
solution.
Typical of those driven with a blind agenda.

Windows Vista continues to perform well on two older computers of
mine.
A simple FACT you seem unable to accomplish and can NOT disprove.

Very typical of you yet again.
A post attacking those you disagree.
When you are unable to prove what you say, you attack others.

"you have no facts to support your story"
The FACT is my computers perform well with windows Vista.
You can attack me, but you are again unable to disprove the facts.
Read my post again, possibly for the first time.
You have apparently missed much.

Those competent and secure in their position have no need for attacks.
That you seem to regularly attack others while contributing NOTHING to
the issues speaks much of your own insecurities and little of others.

Now that I think about it, you are probably right about the camera. I was
just calling manufacturers about compatibility and the kodak person didn't
really sound like they knew what they were talking about. What about
software? Are there any issues with older software not working on newer OS?

Well most people are not having problems and they generally don't go on
line to find an answer to their problem or to complain about them.
Satisfied users are generally quiet.

Of course, there are always such issues. There's never a guarantee
that every existing program will work with any new operating system.

If the software you use is old enough, it's likely that some of it
won't work with XP. Many people have had such problems. Sometimes
running in compatibility mode fixes those problems, but some programs
won't run at all.

Check your applications at "Windows Application Compatibility" at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/desktopdeployment/bb414773.aspx

My personal experience has been that, with the exception of two minor
utilities I didn't really need, every program I ran under XP also ran
under Vista, and I did not need compatibility mode for any of them.
