The first of many mistakes with the launch of Windows Vista was the widespread lack of compatible drivers for critical devices like printers.
***************
I don’t get it, why even change the device model? Why not keep compatibility with ALL XP devices?
I need 4 monitors for my work. Tried Vista and no go. I could have spent more than the computer was worth to get new video cards, but it was cheaper just to stay with XP. What about 7? Anybody know if they ditched the WDDM driver scheme? If I have to run it in XP mode, will people laugh at me for buying new software?
I’m already stuck with an almost new printer that won’t work with Vista. HP could, but won’t, release drivers. I’ve bought my last HP printer!

“Minimal,” such a relative term at microsoft.
