I don't know if Hadron could be described as MS hating.

Loving might be more accurate...he sure does go through great lengths to
defend Vista and MS around here.

Now there you go putting words in my mouth. I never said what you infer
I said. My advise to those buying a wireless card is to always find a
compatible card first, but you already know that.

On MY laptop, though, the Vista wireless drivers suck. The Windows
driver being used for Linux is an XP driver, and is MUCH more stable.

Nope. There are apps that can communicate with some Garmin GPS', but
none that do the map updates from Garmin. And I've found nothing for the
Logitech Harmony remotes. Minor nuisance... Just like you...

I thought you were killfiling me, Liar.

And if that is what you understand of my posts, then you obviously have a
very low level of reading comprehension. I have been supporting Windows,
Novell and *nix networks for many years. Windows has many problems. So
does Linux. This is a Linux group, so there is no point in bandying
about the good points of Windows here (though Vista has relatively few).

It's not snipped, you dip****. It was never posted in the first place.

Only this one is actually mine, and was referring directly to MY laptop,
and how it is odd that the wireless sucks on it, while working much
better in Linux using WinXP drivers. Creative cutting and pasting,
though...

Sure will. You have already proved what a liar and an idiot you are...

Only while he has his Christmas double sig I daresay.

However, the real unny thing is that Falconer uses Win98.

Try this you windows using hypocrite:

See? All SW has issues. You know nothing about Linux, you know less
about Windows. Why do you do this to yourself?

Dan C had you pegged very quickly.
