I understand that FutereDial doesn't "support" them,
but have you actually tried?

Due respect goes to anyone who would even think about running a
Microsoft alpha release Operating System.

They have yet to get a single OS version out of beta testing.

Well IMNSHO mikeyhsd, prolific writer that he is, should have mentioned
his OS in the first friggin' post--not the tenth. While Windows XP
64-bit is of course not, technically, alpha, 32-bit drivers won't work
with it; and that's obviously where his problem lies. That should have
been what his first question was about, preferably without the HTML and
scrolling signature.

From what Paul wrote, it would appear SPCS will be offering tethered
data plans, as well as connection kits, in the near future. Betcha they
don't include XP 64 support either.

I would ask why he has the need to run XP 64, but have no desire to
interpret a two-line cryptic reply. (And I don't mean that in a bad
kinda way.)

Windows XP 64-bit isn't Alpha. It's commercially released.

The tethering plans were included in advertising brochures (available in
stores) starting back in July. And they also show up on the Sprint
plans pages.

Earlier in this thread, you said "Sprint stopped supporting that about
6 months after Vision was launched."

Have you changed your mind?

I'm curious, are you talking about the first rep you spoke to, or to an
actual Vision tech?

I once went three days straight where pulling the battery from a Vision
phone fixed every call that came to me. You have to consciously remind
yourself to actually pay attention to the phone model when you get into
a rut like that.

Doesn't excuse the error, but I can still understand where it might
happen. Once is not a trend.

"Or what?" Or they really *do* open themselves up to legal action.

He was probably being sarcastic. Given the multitude of bug fixes and
security patches that are released for any MS operating system, up
until the day that MS stops oficially supporting that OS, one might
consider any MS OS to be Alpha, whether it's commercially released or
not...

In fact, Windows Update is just about to install another security
patch on my Win2Kpro computer. Win2K has only been out for 6 years
now.

"Teir 1 Technical Support". Whatever that is.

Well, yeah. And when a phone has a non-removable battery, and you have
no support ideas other than "remove the battery", then support for such
people pretty much ends. Like I said, nobody ever called me back, but
someone on a forum was able to help me.

That's exactly why I said that Sprint Tech support IS "remove the
battery" ... because if that doesn't work, you may be SOL as far as
Sprint is concerned. At least I was.

>Doesn't excuse the error, but I can still understand where it might

I agree, it's not a trend. But the promised call back never occured
either (phone cals were working fine). So, I only tried Sprint
"support" twice, and they batted .000

Now, I don't buy a product I can't support myself, or that the
manufacturer or someone other than Sprint can support.

Screw me once it's your fault, twice it's mine.

In order for Sprint to support a hardware device, it has to have a
removable battery. Which a data cable doesn't have. So I don't know
what quality of service these guys are going to get, which is why they
should probably figure it out before they put a whole lot of money into
the tethering solution.

""Or what?" Or they really *do* open themselves up to legal action. "

Except that they make you sign your rights away to a class action or
jury trial (and from what I can tell ... for good reason). So they
really don't have to do much of anything, unless you want to argue
before the court that the arbitration clause is unconciounable, etc,
etc.

Most people just want something that works out of the box.

>Windows XP 64-bit isn't Alpha. It's commercially released.

Surely you gest.

Windows 95 never made it out of Alpha.

It didn't stop them from "commercially releasing" it.

There are very few 64-bit drivers of any kind available.
If you're running a 64-bit OS it should not be your main or solo OS.
If it was me, I'd be dual-booting the 64-bit OS and a 32-bit OS.
You need the latter to get any real work done.

not really.
the only thing not available for me at this time is drivers to connect phone
to computer and my lexmrk printer. of course with lexmark if it is over 2
years old, forget it.

of course my computer was specially built with 64 bit os in mind.
I had the printer and phone before getting the computer.

HTML has got nothing to do with old or new / modern computers. It's got to
do with posting in a different language, one which adds more coding, and
does not allow for proper formatting when bottom posting.

HTML is great for creating word docs, etc, but it's not good to use in
Usenet, where replies usually follow the originating post. It's the
operator, you, who doesn't realize the difference.

>of course my computer was specially built with 64 bit os in mind.

I have a couple of 100% 64 bit OS-ready computers built.

The ONLY one that is of any consquence, is the box running 64 bit
Linux. Do I see a performance difference? In benchmarks .... some of
them yes, in day-to-day computing .... no.

And in Windows, almost every application is still wirtten and obtimized
for 32 bit OS's. I was able to get a copy of 64 bit Windows it in
July. The only performance increase you *might* see is for a program
written specifically for 64bit Windows. And then you get to worry
about these little niggling things like a driver here and there that
won't work, and the brand spanking new bugs that have long since been
ironed out in the 32 bit versions of XP and Win2000.

Eventually it will be an almost compeltely 64 bit world. Maybe in 5
years. But in that time, that nice, shiny AMD 64 3800+ is going to
become a dinosaur.

I scrapped Win 64bit, as there was no benefit (unless I wanted to load
tha machine with over 4 gigs of ram), and being an alpha tester on the
leading edge of little benefit is ovverrated. I've done it many times
before.

If you are happy with Win 64, I am happy for you. But these little
problems that you are encoutnering now *probably* aren't worth whatever
benefit you might be getting out of the OS, IMHO.

Then again, maybe they are ....

I'll go to that OS when AMD releases a 7000+ chip, every major vendor
has made 64 bit versions of their OS, and good folks such as yourself
have already forwarded their core dumps to Microsoft for 2 years.
