said by MSeng:Those would be the same people that bought Windows 7 (or Vista, or XP, etc), didn't do ANY research first then find out their favorite program doesn't work or their three year old printer suddenly doesn't have drivers available. It is certainly not unique to this OS.
When I upgraded to Vista HP had no drivers for my model printer. I forget what model it was now but I was able to get it working just fine by using updated Vista compatible drivers for a similar model. It was really easy. My HP scanner just worked, everything else just worked as well. My upgraded systems were well above the minimum and well above the recommended specs too so there was no problem there.
The only thing that didnt work quite right was my Belkin n50 and n52 but Belkin was notorious for poor driver support or at least it seemed so from my point of view. Eventually I think they released decent drivers for them but I didnt really care by then,
I just moved on without it.
I get that people didnt like Vista I just didnt see any of the issues that would lend merit to that point of view first hand.
