media constrictor needs to go

[Guest Jim Michaels]

windows Vista is not safe for life-threatening medical imaging applications

or good for communication because of the media constrictor. the media

constrictor needs to go. I think it should leave windows 7 too.

specifically, communications gets intentionally downgraded no matter the

hardware, and imaging requires all Vista-certified hardware.

 

I'm always looking over my shoulder wondering what OS they are using at my

dentists' office. I know, it's not life-threatening.

Which are the applications that threaten my life ?

I would like to be sure I avoid using them.

Draw me an x-ray image, doctor, or I'll have to beat you to death with

my Vista!

 

....no, a baseball bat is more secure in this application.

???

 

Are you referring to some sort of media fasttracking interfering with

processes that are life critical?

I'm guessing configuration is a foreign concept to you.
