[QUOTE="renau1g, post: 4811626, member: 54810"] My issue is actually with the CB and Vista problems, not actually arising out of WOTC (ironically), but rather Microsoft acting in bad faith, so I won't be paying and not getting the whole product (especially as that to me is the biggest benefit, besides the non-existant, but soon to be released possibly, tabletop.) [sblock=long story] I used to work for a company selling microsoft products, when Vista came out I was given a free copy of the software with the intent that I would be more knowledgable and be able to pimp their product better. I was told it was fully supported, wasn't a beta or trial or whatever. I installed it and everything was fine... until about 6 months ago (just before the CB came out) I got a pop-up saying my version was no longer valid and that I needed to upgrade to the full retail copy to keep getting updates. I called M$, but to no avail, they told me their rep had "misunderstood" my question... Jerks! So I couldn't install that .NET framework as you need a "genuine" copy of windows. Therefore I couldn't install the CB (luckily I found out when they released the free trial of it so I didn't waste money). [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
