Wacom has 64-bit, dual-processor Vista drivers for my old Intuos 6x8 tablet, which is at least 4 years old. Thank you, Wacom. You made my day.
As opposed to Hewlett-Packard, Line6, and Palm, who haven't bothered making a driver to use my photo printer, inkjet printer, flatbed scanner (all HP), UX1 input (Line6) and 755psmartphone (Palm). I can almost understand why HP didn't make drivers for their devices, as they're all 6+ years old, but you know, they're still perfectly willing to sell me the fuckin' ink for $36 a pop, so I think I deserve to use the ink after my OS upgrade.
Line6 and Palm, on the other hand, have no excuses for not supporting their wonderful but damned expensive hardware. When I shell out $1,000 for a phone and a guitar input, both of which were made after Vista was announced, I expect them to work.
So thank you, Wacom, I checked your drivers page more out of habit than an actual expectation that you'd make the drivers. Thank you.Labels: computers, rant, Vista |
