virtualization/ How about a fax?
Is anyone surprised you have to pay for something like virtualization, when MS wants you to pay for a fax console that used to be free in XP. Fax capability is about as basic as you can get, yet they took that out of Vista Home. You can upgrade to Home Premium, but still no fax. So you have to do a double upgrade to a business version to get this "sophisticated" feature. I guess no one ever gets or sends faxes from home? What a joke. If they want to have crippled versions they should be free trials and then you only pay for a version with all the features if you happento like the software. I know that I for one never would have bought Vista if I had known. I liked XP home edition just fine. And by the way, the Vista help files claim that the fax console is still there even though it isn't.
