• Adobe's fault
  It's important to point out that Vista was "untouched" until the Adobe software was introduced. I would say this is an Adobe problem, not a Vista problem. In reply to: "Flash flaw leads to Vista laptop's fall"

• Eventually We'll all love it
  If everyone is honest with themselves they would remind everyone how they felt when Windows XP first came out. I mean com'on. When I first touched XP in 2001 all the applications I had developed myself broke and most of the professional applications and video games I liked failed. It took me a few months to get them XP ready. On top of that XP was very slow and had lots of problems. I remember one time for about 90 days I received a blue screen every 48 hours. When SP1 for XP came, it fixed several problems but broke other things. It wasn't until SP2 that most people fully accepted XP. By SP1 for XP, most people were using XP. That was a year and a half (around) before we reached that point. This has been the same for all versions of Windows. Vista is expected to be no different. nonetheless in another year or so everyone will love Vista. By the time Microsoft brings it's next version of Windows out we will all start saying the same thing about that OS and say to each other "Stay with Vista!".

• Can't Read I guess...
  What I find funny is that people have problems reading. (illiterate I guess) There were two labels which Microsoft proactively promoted the differences, Vista Ready and Vista capable. Vista Ready computers were systems fully prepared to run all features of Windows Vista. Vista capable meant the system could run Vista but would have many features disabled. It was clearly explained by Microsoft when they announced Vista being almost finished in 2006. Not only that and the fact that Microsoft had articles on their web site but Best Buy, Circuit City and Office Depot/Office Max had Windows Vista marketing materials that also explained the difference from Capable and ready very clearly. From this I would agree that people are just out to make a buck. In reply to: "Judge OKs suit over 'Vista Capable'"

• Maybe...
  I'm gonna take a guess (may be farfetched so, be warned) but perhaps the plastic bag help restrict CO2 exposure to the battery (Which is what would cause the battery to ignite in the first place). Since the sealed bag would have a limited amount of oxygen (CO2) it helps reduce or mitigate the chance of a fire. Again I'm just spitballing here but thats the only thing I can think of.
  
  Also, before anyone else wonders, the reason why a battery which is plugged in is ok is because when it's plugged in it's grounded. This mitigates the chance of an explosion. a battery not plugged in does not have a ground connection and therefore a greater risk (This is fact).

• two reasons
  Although it's not common, changes in environmental pressure (usually occurs above 10,000 feet) will cause internal cabin pressure of the plane to be increased or decreased. Cabin pressure causes all kinds of wierd things (Technically from a medical perspective it "can" cause your ears to breed or cause your eardrums to explode - Not really going to happen but just saying from a physics standpoint there should be no way for your ears to survive yet they do). also with cabin pressure changes means oxygen changes are made. Don't forget oxygen (CO2) is flamable. if you can somehow cause an ion to polarize in the CO2 distribution it "can" cause a fire or explosion. I won't say the FAA is correct. I'm just saying from a scientific viewpoint it's very possible. In reply to: "New security rules for batteries on planes"

• SP1
  I had this problem early on in Vista and over time it just started working about. Another buddy of mine currently has the problem. We both installed the Service Pack 1 RC1 and he says the problem went away. When SP1 is released see if that resolves you problem. In reply to: "Author sounds off on Vista's annoyances"
