You'd think this headline was a joke, but sadly, it's not. It's the real headline of an article posted on SeattlePI.com in the blogs section. The core of the story is that a man couldn't get his printer to work with Windows Vista, and ultimately, with the help of a Microsoft test manager, solved the problem warranting a follow-up article. The comedy here, of course, is in reading what went wrong and wrapping your brain around why engineers didn't forsee such a thing happening.

1. So the first time I installed Vista x64, Visual Studio decided, half-way through installation that it turn off wow64 folder-redirection. Resulting in a horribly broken install that there was no hope of un-installing. The vista folder-redirection schemes sounded a bit dubious to me, even before I experienced this.
2. My Dell printer is actually a rebaranded Samsung printer. The Dell drivers are about 5 times the [download] size of the samsung ones, and *reduce* the functionality of my printer, (the Dell drivers add extra margins to printed pages that are demonstrably software-imposed)
