updating drivers via WU - the facts
Francis;
Please post appropriate links to your "informed sources". The kind of misinformation you and your sources are perpetuating needs to addressed. Can't you just accept the fact that you are wrong? How many different people have to tell you that before you accept it? Bobby "francis gérard" wrote in message ... "NoNoBadDog!" mypants_bjsledgeATpixi.com wrote in message ... Francis; I am not in the habit of posting folklore. The facts that I posted are true. The drivers are not meant to take the place of the drivers supplied by the manufacturers. Never have, never will. The drivers posted to WU are substantially different in the vast majority of cases. Printer drivers, scanner drivers, video drivers, etc. are only offered with base functionality on WU. They do not offer the advanced features that the drivers offered by the manufacturer. I challenge you, Francis, to prove otherwise. i already have... go back through this discussion thread and read my articles and the references i provided. i challenge YOU to prove otherwise. I am confident that you cannot find a single device driver on WU that is congruent with the "same" driver offered by the manufacturer. To try to tell those less knowledgeable that it is okay to install device drives from WU is nothing short of irresponsible. i am not in the habit of spreading bullsh*t, bobby, i always back-up my commentary with informed sources. -- francis |

Whatever you want to think, does not make it so. My answer is based on years of first and second hand experience as well as the articles you referenced and many others. So far your opinion seems to be limited to only a few articles. I never said I was an authority or expert, that is entirely your idea. Your attempt at put downs in an effort to bolster your position are noted and appropriately ignored. They show your insecurity in your own position. Whether the position has validity or not, you have just shown you are not capable of supporting it. Does this mean you are not taking this to the more appropriate newsgroup as I suggested? Is this because the actual facts are not of interest to you? -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/ "francis gérard" wrote in message ... and tell me, Jupiter, is it just YOU or do all MVPs have a superiority complex? -- francis |

oh btw,
i'll be offline for a couple days, but when i get back, i'll expect you to have googled-up some good references (know-it-alls tend to do that) to support your assertions that installing drivers via WU is bad, JJ! ;-} i didn't bother with google, i simply went straight to the source... Microsoft's web site. cheers -- francis |

Yes, but at least I admitted I was wrong...something you seem incapable of.
On my statements about WU drivers, I am correct, as others have also stated. Bobby "francis gérard" wrote in message ... "NoNoBadDog!" mypants_bjsledgeATpixi.com wrote in message ...

Frances;
your failure to provide proof of your "published" facts really puts you in a bad position. Either post your links, or drink a BIG glass of STFU. Bobby "francis gérard" wrote in message ...

See my other response to this question. Either post links to your sources,
or do us all a favor and quit acting like a spoiled 5 year old. In other words, Put up or Shut up. Bobby "francis gérard" wrote in message ...

Your continued name calling only proves my previous posts.
Your sarcasm would not be necessary to boost your position if you were capable and confident in it. If you would go to the correct forum as suggested, you would see actual first hand proof instead you insist on this incorrect forum. But I guess you may be afraid "the source" may not match your preconceived version of reality. More of your assumptions proved false. Good bye, enjoy your vacation. Come back when you can do converse civilly without insulting , until then you are best ignored. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/ "francis gérard" wrote in message ... oh btw, i'll be offline for a couple days, but when i get back, i'll expect you to have googled-up some good references (know-it-alls tend to do that) to support your assertions that installing drivers via WU is bad, JJ! ;-} i didn't bother with google, i simply went straight to the source...

This almost made me do a spit-take with the tea I was drinking...
Here he is running with his tail between his legs and then challenges US to prove what he already knows to be true. One last challenge...post your sources from Microsoft's website. It you can show me one single shred of proof that the Drivers on WU are meant as replacements for the manufacturers drivers, have the same functionality, and support all the extended functions that the manufacturers drivers can offer, I will apologize to you in this forum for the world to see. You cannot cite a single source to back up your "published facts". Despite repeated requests to post your sources, you have not done so. Do us a favor...stay offline.

Either post links to your sources, or do us all a favor and quit acting like a spoiled 5 year old. In other words, Put up or Shut up. i have provided extensive information on the matter, based on my professional experience and the 6 links i posted in this thread, it's not my problem you can't follow a discussion. obviously, some (many) of you have religious feelings over this, but i've stated my position very clearly, i did not say that hardware vendor's drivers are superceded by those posted to WU, i merely stated that they were tested, certified and safe to use. that has been my experience (as a system-builder), without exception, and is supported by information published by microsoft, which i referenced already, had you bothered to read it. no hard feelings, eh BadDog! ;- see you in a couple days -- francis |

"Jupiter Jones [MVP]" wrote in message ... Your continued name calling only proves my previous posts. Your sarcasm would not be necessary to boost your position if you were capable and confident in it. i am very confident in my position, based on my professional experience and microsoft published facts. i don't need to boost my position, and i'm sorry if sarcasm escapes you, and why is it that these things turn into a who's right ****ing contest? if my experiences with drivers via WU were not good, i would not be wasting my time stating otherwise... think about it. if i am wrong about WU, then someone should also inform microsoft. If you would go to the correct forum as suggested, you would see actual first hand proof instead you insist on this incorrect forum. But I guess you may be afraid "the source" may not match your preconceived version of reality. JJ, i *already* posted SIX references, direct from microsoft, my god, why can't you people learn to READ a discussion thread??? this is really getting frustrating, as so many of you seem incapable of following a simple discussion, informing yourselves of ALL the facts before jumping-in with a hit-n-run post and then have the nerve to get on my case because YOU couldn't be bothered to go back and read what i said. More of your assumptions proved false. Good bye, enjoy your vacation. work trip actually, thanks Come back when you can do converse civilly without insulting , until then you are best ignored. do as you will JJ... i'll not lose any sleep having said that... goodnite gentle-people -- francis JJ, relax man, i'm only giving you a hard-time over MVP thing, cause i think the MVP designation is silly, at best. however, i also realize you are a valuable contributor to these NGs, we simply disagree on this matter |
