Vista purposely cripples connections to other operating systems.

| Microsoft does know about this issue and have written a knowledge base
| article about it here which basically states that you need to change a
| particular registry entry from "1" to "0". Pretty simple for us Borgs but
| beyond the capabilities of the average Joe and Jane Doe. Being a registry
| change and not a bug in code as others have said shows me that this is a
| policy decision.

Details trickle out about EC Vista probe

| The Commission said earlier this month that it
| does have concerns about Microsoft Vista but
| declined to give full details of those concerns
| because of the "delicate legal situation"
| surrounding the Vista anticompetition debate.

| Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes discussed
| the situation with Microsoft's chief executive,
| Steve Ballmer, in August, when she warned that
| the Commission could not give Vista a "green
| light" before it was launched.
