Is there a Vista forum with more traffic than this one?

I've posted several issues here that have drawn no responses over the
past couple months. With millions of Vista users, there MUST be
somewhere online where vast numbers of users come together to get their
questions answered. Do I need a secret handshake to join such a group?

Yup. And if we told you what the handshake is, it wouldn't be a secret any
more.

No, this is the busiest newsgroup.... unless you take away the trolls, and
responders to trolls.

This is actually one of the busiest newsgroups on Usenet.

You've just discovered the secret handshake. Post something emotional and
slightly off topic and you'll get 4+ responses within 40 minutes.

No, you need to ask a question to which someone knows the answer. :-(

Now that you've got our attention, how about asking your questions again?

LOL! I mentioned a number of issues with indexing which have never been
resolved. I ended up turning off indexing. I'm still open to answers
on that subject. :)

OK... guilty to the latter charge. Hard to stop responding when one feels
the trolls are a detriment to the ng. But I guess I can just hold my tongue,
so to speak.

Don't hold your breath as there isn't anyone here that knows much about
Vista. The Vista lovers are only capable of lies, insults and bluster.

You could grow a brain, but that would be expecting too much. There
isn't a single post you've made where you've done anything but defend
the moronic fanboy view and do a good deal of screaming and yelling
yourself. Your technical skills are on a par with Frank's. Zero.

There's a very good Windows Vista forum at:

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=idx

People there are grown up and mostly without a personal agenda. Give
it a shot

This kind of response from the quoted poster is a better reason to
leave this group than lack of attendance. It's rude, insulting on top
of which not being true. There's a lot of people here trying to help
out. And there's a lot of people, including myself, who are happy with
Vista. They are not liars or anything even close to it. I do not kow
what's wrong with the responder above, but I see a lot of these
immature people contribute quite a bit of around here. I wish I had
time to feel sorry for them, but I need information, and these people
makes it hard to get it.
Finally, there's a lot of unkowns around Vista still. All the tweakers
and other experts hasn't been able to digest it yet. I had a problem
with special folders (Music, Documents etc.) loosing their dedicated
icons. At the time no one seemed to know how to fix that without
creating a new account. Recently there are a few fixes for this. But
in the future I'm sure we'll see restoring these icons in tweaking
programs and through the registry like we did on XP.

I rather even read alias than wade through the web interfaces
of moderated fora that blast me with adverts.

Care for some cheese with your whine? Vista is Redmond's last hurrah.
Live with it.
