Windows Vista - Hardware Compatibility Issues
Early up-graders to Windows Vista are reporting annoyance by the loads of software and hardware incompatibilities coming to the fore as they use Windows Vista. For the record the Redmond, Wash., software giant launched Vista and a companion update called Windows Vista Application Compatibility Update to the market on Jan 30. Seems like they expected a lot of issues with the system because they made sure that Vista patches were available on the net even before the Compact disks of the operating system left the factory.
That update, KB929427, makes good some of the more challenging application incompatibilities, but the nightmare is far from over, for the early bird upgraders. There is nothing new about
compatibility issues when a new operating system is launched, however, Vista is not only has a number of incompatibilities with existing applications but also lacks many drivers for critical hardware components and hardware peripherals. Support for Vista hardware is compounded by the fact that most vendors have not created drivers of their hardware that is compatible for Vista making support more of a headache. This is understood when it comes to peripherals such as printers and scanners but so far as critical hardware components such as hard drives, chipset controllers and video cards are concerned the lack of compatibility will crash the system. The manufacturers of primary components of the computer hardware system are just not ready with their wares to support Vista.
Early adopters of Vista have the following problems to contend with:
- They will face a drastic lack of available drivers vendors leading to conflicts in applications.
-
New peripheral hardware components will lack compatible Vista drivers and the old components drivers will simply refuse to work in most cases.
-
New security feature often flags existing applications as suspicious and interrupts service
-
The OS automatically recommends which Vista versions is best for each PC's configuration. This will cause small businesses to download different versions of Vista.
SO in the ultimate analysis, Vista may seem attractive in it’s packaging but it still has far to go.

Why is the patch for the American flag backwards?
I've noticed that the American flag patch they wear on their shoulder while in uniform is always backwards, why?
As others have said, the flag isn't backwards if you figure that flags have two sides.
On US Army uniforms (the ACU is the current uniform being worn in the Army, although the guidelines for which patches go on which shoulder also apply to the old BCUs and DCUs), the soldier's unit patch goes on their left shoulder, and the American flag goes on their right--and underneath it, combat patches from a previous unit they'd deployed with, if they have previous deployments. Because the American flag goes on the right shoulder, the flag must appear as it would be if it was being carried; from the point of view of looking at the soldier's right side, if they were carrying a flag on a flagpole and walking forward, the starfield on the US flag would be in the upper-right corner and the stripes would be going away to the left, as it appears on their shoulder as a patch.
The reasoning for this is because "stripes forward, starfield back" would signify retreat; "starfield forward, stripes back"--appearing as though the flag is being carried forward--signifies going forward.
Strange logic, perhaps, but military traditions and customs generally seem peculiar to outsiders and to those who don't otherwise live, sleep, eat, and breathe this stuff every day.
