I’ve just gotten email from a super-geeky friend of mine talking all excitedly about Microsoft Vista and Microsoft Windows Vista, but I’ve never heard of such a thing! What the heck is he talking about?
In a nutshell, Microsoft Windows Vista is the next generation of Microsoft Windows after Windows XP. For the last year or longer everyone’s been talking about this next generation operating system using its code name of Longhorn, and while the features that are promised to be included in Longhorn have changed over the last 18 months or longer, Vista is just another name for the same future product.
I’m resisting talking about “vaporware” here, actually, because Microsoft Vista hasn’t even shipped its first official beta release yet to developers, though that’s scheduled to happen within the next few weeks.

I bought a new HP a1710n computer equipped with Windows VISTA. I found out that my previous system (US Robotics) would not work with VISTA and that no update was available. I spent hours trying to talk with tech support and only got one person whose English was understandable. He was not able to answer my question. The question is: “Is there any device I can add to my new computer to allow it to communicate with my Netgear Wireless Router?
I surely hope you can help because this is causing me a lot of problems and losing me a lot of money in my consulting business.
Thanks, Malcol
