Microsoft's blunder [on Dynamic Disks]

| March 14th. I tried to convert a basic disk to dynamic disk in vista
| premium, and was given an error message telling me that dynamic disks
| are not supported in windows vista.

| So, did I get screwed? Is there any solution other then buying
| ultimate for $400 or switching to opensource software?

Acer: Vista Home Basic is a lemon

| Microsoft is effectively smuggling through a price hike for Windows
| Vista - by making the entry-level version so poor that no-one will
| want to use it. So says Jim Wong, senior veep at Acer, the world's
| number four PC maker, who told UK hack Jon Honeyball: "The new
| [Vista] experience you hear of, if you get Basic, you won't feel
| it at all. There's no [Aero] graphics, no Media Center, no
| remote control."
