Microsoft does it again

[Guest John Barnes]

Just made the mistake of purchasing a Microsoft Fingerprint Reader. Box

only said Vista (or XP) as the required OS, and mentions how it helps make

Vista security more convenient. Well, insert the cd and it says then, and

only then, that it only works on 32-bit Vista. Fortunately I can install

it on my wife's machine, but just one more kick in the teeth for 64 bit from

Microsoft itself.

.. . . . . . . sounds like it might make a great suppository for Bill Gates.
