They have been promising a vista driver for the wmb54g for over a year. I don't get it, companies spend alot of money to attract customers and then chase them away because of stupid stuff. go figure I will not purchase another linksys product.

Don't make common statements like "Linksys Suck" for the reason that YOU don't know how to configure it. Linksys devices works just great for me! I just Love Linksys. I don’t have problems with them but I do have problems with computer users making sickening generic declarations due to their total lack of basic troubleshooting skills. And oh yah, their Tech Supports? Sure they did have that accent but that doesn’t matter!!!!!!! They are the most courteous and polite, helpful and well-mannered people I’ve encountered over the phone all these years. Don’t blame the device!!

]]> Comment on Windows Installer does, has always, and will always suck by Frank Laub http://eric.extremeboredom.net/2004/04/24/181#comment-81197 Frank Laub Fri, 14 Mar 2008 22:46:21 +0000 http://extremeboredom.net/?postid=8#comment-81197 You do realize, I hope, that NSIS will use some of the MSI APIs under the hood? Also, take a look at WiX. This is a good approach to developing large, complicated installers that requires many people to work on. It is actually possible to re-install MSI as well. And, once you know the tricks of MSI, it's really not as bad as it seems at first. You do realize, I hope, that NSIS will use some of the MSI APIs under the hood? Also, take a look at WiX.

We had a great time at scale. I am giving up a lot of weekends and early mornings to have even more stuff up on sourceforge for next year's Scale. Linux revolutionized the technical world and we are hoping that free open source applications like ours will revolutionize the business world.

It seems once you configure it, it's great, but if you ever move and say change from cable/dsl or dsl/cable, then it will never work again. But I have also found that if you can exchange it then it will be fine, I guess it's a "disposable" router? I agree I don’t care for linksys at all either, I have gone through 3 of the wrt54g.

(I've been trying to uninstall some Linksys software). They promised me a "registry cleanup program" via email in 24 - 48 hours. Seven days later I got back into the on-line chat to ask why I hadn't received anything. They couldn't immediately tell me. After asking for my email address the rep told me that they can't mail to accounts in hotmail and gmail domains (where my addresses are located) because their emails bounce back. I was instructed to create a Yahoo account so that they could email me their fix! How impressive is that??!! Here’s another beaut: I spent 45 minutes in on-line chat with a Linksys rep.
