Burning Issues with Vista
Microsoft's new OS, Vista, exhibits evidence of further surreptitious attempts to lock users in to MS - not to mention just poor user interface design and faulty software.
I finally located someone with a
preinstalled Vista box that I could try out -- he wasn't using it, as
it turned out that the owner (an experienced
Windows XP user) couldn't get the hang of Vista at all and
considered buying the machine “a mistake”.
The very next day, I received an email message from the owner (er, correction: licensee). He had already resigned himself to upgrading (sic) the box to XP...
In several ways, users are pushed towards
the Live File System (LFS) format, which is only compatible with
Vista and XP. LFS is the format which is selected by default, and
there appears to be no way to change this that I could find. In many cases, the user
doesn't even get to see this selection, and following the easiest way
to burn a CD or DVD will almost certainly result in an LFS format
disk.
