| We are still trying to find out what is happening with Nvidia's and
| ATI's graphic drivers. This morning there are still no sign of real
| RTM (Release to Manufacturing) drivers.

| NVidia still doesn't have a public DirectX 10 driver for Geforce 8800

nVidia ForceWare Vista Driver Blunder - Thermal Management?
,----[ Quote ]
| Today we'll tell you about the death of an nVidia GeForce 7900GS
| graphics card and how we think it could have been avoided by better
| and more thoroughly-tested Windows Vista ForceWare drivers. It seems
| to be a major blunder by nVidia and we feel as if it is important enough
| to alert our readers about the issue.

Windows Vista: Work In Progress
,----[ Quote ]
| Already, the list of non-compatible applications or hardware is fairly
| long. Microsoft's own Vista updates add to the number of third-partyp
| atches on which businesses will have to conduct compatibility testing.
| The burden is yet another reason to see slow business deployments in
| the early months following Windows Vista's release.

Vista Breaks Applications
,----[ Quote ]
| The big secret at Redmond is that existing applications and new
| products will not work with Vista.
|
| Microsoft really doesn't want you to know this, but many of your
| existing applications won't work with Vista. In fact, some brand
| new products won't work with Vista.

Lack of Internal Talks at Microsoft, Google
,----[ Quote ]
| Maybe my "Microsoft's Entertainment Domination" theory was a bit
| premature. Apparently, the Zune MP3 player isn't flying off shelves
| and now it turns out that the Zune is incompatible with Microsoft'
| latest Windows Vista operating system. Amazing how a disconnect like
| this can occur within an organization. Software start-ups are taking
| advantage of the lowered development costs and the speedy development
| time -- and forcing large software organizations to speed up their
| own development cycles, but in the process, the large organizations
| are fumbling to communicate effectively amongst their departments.
