Vista doesn't support ASF? I have trouble believing that. It is a Microsoft created container format for Windows Media Player. I think the compatibility issue is with the codec Cisco has chosen to use rather than with the ASF specification. Can you offer any proof that ASF support has been dropped from Vista? What is the "new application" that you encourage us to wait on? I've read other posts suggesting that vista will not be suppported in the recorder/viewer application. Do you have other information? Thx

It's not that ASF is not supported in Vista, it is how and when the Codec was written that is being used by Windows Media Player. The list goes on and on about tried and proven software and utilities that do not work in Vista. It is a major problem for all Vista owners and will be for some time. Not ready for prime time is just too kind to label Vista with. Microsoft customers have been cut off from most of their legacy hardware and alot of the newest gadgetry as well. Many of my customers have asked me to put XP on new computers they purchase with Vista. It is a bad scene indeed.

Agreed - when Vista was first released, the compatability with legacy stuff was abyssmal. You can argue that it was Microsoft's fault for making their new OS different than the last OS (but isn't that the point?). You can also argue that it is the 3rd partys' faults - Vista was released to manufacturers through the RC and RTM process in October of last year. The purpose for Microsoft doing that is to give manufacturers time to update their applications and drivers. Linksys has had plenty of time to update their drivers (including codecs). An earlier post indicated that the necessary drivers were most recently available in WMP8 which was released in 2001. If it is asking alot to expect that a manufacturer could update their drivers between October of last year and now, is it reasonable that they could be update these drivers within 6 years? There are many threads on the topic of why you can't play these ASF's in Vista, and there's a lot of speculation as to why the support isn't there (on Microsoft's part and on Linksys'). Can someone from Linksys step up and give some clarification, rather than let us customers debate the issue?

Agree with you as well. The problem with Vista is the approach to older code. When we went from 98SE to the horrid ME, there were problems, however there was always the obvious attitude from MS developers to find an avenue for the legacy software users. The compatability mode was hidden and encapsulated in alot of win32 hocus pocus, but you could indeed run something written under MS-DOS console mode with few hickups. Not so now. There is that big red stop sign. We all know that MS needed to clean up it's act, but the real reason behind most of this is that this operating system still has no clean divider line between user and system address space. That will always be a problem, and especially now when they have to eliminate the vulnerabilities caused by injected kernel code on behalf of user requests. The only solution is to do the unspeakable.... implement a unix-like core. In Vista, they are trying to do it outside the box. Big memory, lots of compatability issues, and user frustration. It is like a beast bloated on exception consumption. I think it is as far as this model can go and when the dust settles, that core is gonna happen. (IMHO)
