I completely agree. And that is why I posted on the nvidia forum too. But in the end, I bought a tablet from MS and that tablet is not working properly.
Now I/we know better because we are tech guys/girls that understand this stuff but if I were my dad or my name was john doe, my thinking would stop at the end of my first paragraph.
I agree that it's most likely Nvidia's fault but my MS tablet was working properly before i got this update which was provided to me by MS through windows update (notice the lack of the name "nvidia" here). Is it my job to go chase down nvidia when all this
came from products and updates provided by MS? I don't think so. If this were a pro version, I could take care of it myself but it's not so I can't and in the end, even if the fix ultimately come from nvidia, it will be provided to me by MS. And so having
said that, the pressure rests on MS shoulders. They can then transfer than pressure to whoever they want, i don't care.
If it's MS's thinking that I should chase down all of the little guys that make up everything that the aurface is made of, then they are not going down the right path to mass acceptance.
Eventually, sites like wired.com (known for their love of a certain fruit company) will take notice of this issue and then the bad reviews will start rolling.
Don't get me wrong. I have MS tattooed on my heart. I make a living from SQL Server, visual studio and the office suite. The only tech thing I have that is not MS is a generation ipod and it's been gathering dust for a few years now.
As mush as I want MS to succeed in the tablet market, I don't think it should be up to me to make their tablet work.
