Is there something wrong with Vista at a more basic level?

The most common complaint about Vista is usually people pointing at drivers. What if it's something much more basic?

I find this scary where it leads. Let's pick on EVGA since I use them(Any manufacturer will do.) check out their Video Card specs. They all carry the claim "built for Windows Vista."

Now The Motherboards however are another story. No such promises or even claims that Vista will work. I'm pretty sure I remeber seeing it on there when I got it just after vista's release, but it's gone now.

This is pretty much consistent will ALL motherboard manufacturers. My tinfoil hat theory is that it's for legal reasons. I think that the "driver problems" are related to a more basic problem that Microsoft and the manufacturers must know about but won't discuss openly, because Microsoft accidentally broke Vista in an attempt to increase hardware requirements to help them sell hardware. Again this is a tinfoil Hat theory, but it's either that or Microsoft has blown billions of dollors being totally incompetent.

WAKE UP PEOPLE: The New World Order is here

This pretty clearly explains the Democrats failure to get their agenda done. They're not actually in power.

Thomas Jefferson Quotes

"I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country."
- Thomas Jefferson

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a moneyed aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power (of money) should be taken away from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs."
- Thomas Jefferson

"The system of banking we have both equally and ever reprobated. I contemplate it as a blot left in all our constitutions, which, if not covered, will end in their destruction. I sincerely believe, with you...that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale."
- Thomas Jefferson

"To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition. The incorporation of a bank, and the powers assumed by this bill [chartering the first Bank of the United States] have not, in my opinion, been delegated to the United States by the Constitution. They are not among the powers specially enumerated."
- Thomas Jefferson

"I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our Constitution - taking from the Federal government their power of borrowing (from privately-owned corporate banks)."
- Thomas Jefferson

"We are undone, my dear sir, if legislation is still permitted which makes our money, much or little, real or imaginary, as the moneyed interests shall choose to make it."
- Thomas Jefferson
