just thinking.....

This is a discussion about just thinking..... in the Windows Hardware category; It's a Beta OS, don't expect everything to work! I've seen a lot of people saying this lately, and as far as I'm concerned, it's just giving up. When people ask a question, they're not asking for the official, os-supported way for something to work.

I've seen a lot of people saying this lately, and as far as I'm concerned, it's just giving up. When people ask a question, they're not asking for the official, os-supported way for something to work. Often times I think people are interested whether there is a work-around to get something to work. Remember back before SB Liveware came out for win2k? There were still people trying to get it to work.... the same kind of thing could be happening now. So when somebody says "such and such feature doesn't work for me", just say something like "It doesn't work for me either, but here's how I deal with it".... if you don't know a way to fix it, just say so. Enough of this *****ing about it being a beta OS.....

yeah, you have a point. And it also hurts to answer the same questions over and over again, that's why we say "it's a beta OS, don't expect everything to work".
 
The final solution is that nobody is forcing you to install it, you probably have illegally obtained it to begin with and if your whining about it, why not just wait until the final.

yea, tired of answering questions about incompatible hardware/software. Keeping replies short and to the point, as for people wanting answers...well...My answer may not be the one they are looking for but its better than none at all.
