What is Microsoft doing to encourage PC/Laptop Vendors to support my boxes
for upgrading to Vista?

For example, I have a Fujitsu T4010 Tablet PC with enough memory (2GB) and
enough HD to comfortably run Vista. I just need a couple of small device
driver updates from them, but no. The model I have, which is only 20 months
old and which I paid a premium in expectationt that it would support Vista.

However, Fujitsu is only supporting the 4210 and 4215 model.

I'm sure I am not the only one suffering as such.

Best Wishes,
Keith Nicholson, MVP C#

I've got to say I'm impressed again by Fujitsu.

When I spoke to them yesterday, I did not expect the representative to truly
pass on my concerns. Today, I got a call. They are assisting me with the
four key areas. I'll let you know how it goes.

I've got to say I'm impressed again by Fujitsu.

When I spoke to them yesterday, I did not expect the representative to truly

Rather than going through Fujitsu for drivers, go to the hardware mfg's
