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.

Has a printer driver ever been good? there are a few categories;
mostly works.
sometimes works.
will work but will keep randomly break the queue.
requires zen-like restart skills.
disappears randomly from the dimension.
you really do get what you pay for with printers.

A shitty driver causing problems? That's such an extraordinary event! Never seen this before, shame on you Vista!
This story is so lame it isn't even funny. Drivers are pieces of software, software has flaws and bugs, patches solve some showstopper flaws and create a few new ones, life goes on.
