You need to reread Statica's post #22 above. The software companies DID have the necessary info. Some just weren't ready when Vista was released. As Statica said, that's not a MS problem. I know you're frustrated because PCAnywhere doesn't work correctly on Vista but posting all this conjecture in every Vista thread on PCM isn't going to correct the problem. Have you tried contacting the maker of PCAnywhere to see when/if they plan to release an update? That's where your solution lies - that, or reinstalling XP as you inidcated.
Here's an analogy for you. I decide to buy a new SUV. All the GMC Denali's I look at have oversized tires installed. I like the look so I buy one. When I bring it home, I find that the vehicle is too high to fit in my garage. Who do I blame? GM for making the vehicle too tall? Goodyear for misleading me with these good looking, oversized meats? How bout the wheel manufacturer, surely they should share some responsibility? Someone should have warned me! The guy that built my garage should have posted a sign that tells me how tall a vehicle will fit inside. These people are all out to make my life difficult. If this problem exists, they never should have sold these Denali's. Stupid GM! Corrupt Goodyear! Ignorant builder! I'm gonna tell the world how they've all made my life miserable!!
At what point do we take responsibility for our own actions? Proper research would have prevented the car issue and proper research would have prevented you from buying a new laptop with Vista installed. The fact that you didn't know you coulld still get XP is the relevant issue - along with the fact that you assumed all your required software would work on Vista. How is any of this MS's fault or Dell's for that matter?
