Nope, I meant ActiveX controls (which is part of the family of COM technologies), which are still heavly used in for example MSIE and other stuff (eg, even in JScript itself), etc.
There is of course nothing wrong with COM (thus also not with ActiveX), nor any other similar technology (well .NET requires a hell of a lot of big dependancies, but blah).

FYI, SP1 has not been released to everyone because a bug in a previous build (this is where you are clearly mistaken) was present. The bug was that when SP1 was installed several drivers needed uninstallation and installation again before they properlly worked in Vista. This, AFAIK, has been fixed.
Read MSDN and the KBs is all I have to say to this.

where did I said they were removed because MS decided to fuck up the devs?
And, NO, for the 348523456th time, not all things have a replacement.
(and this isn't only about APIs;
and I don't say anything about if I find this is a good thing or not, if someone likes to suggest that).

Talking about twisting words, djeez.... Who of us said he should shutout Vista users?
What part of me said that he should shutout XP users?
Nice... You even manage to twist words around of twisted around words....
Nobody said you said that he should shutout XP users, learn to read, ok?
And the thing I quoted in my previous post clearly says that we supposidly said that he should not support Vista users. Which we never said....

But Im willing to bet that 99% of those problems are not Microsoft's fault. If it was MS's fault, then wouldnt we all have those similar bugs on are system? Like I said, my ride has been smooth sailing.
There is that strange logic again. So if I don't experience a bug in Plus! which you reported it is not a bug in Plus!?
right....
