If that where true I'd agree and shut up. but as you can still see in the
link is still active that says it shoudl work and how to sort it out.

Also, as it happens I have had issues with samba file support on NAS
servers, and you guessed it, I'm told by MS suppost that I should switch down
my secrity to the same as XP.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Lsa (DWORD = 1)
Which changes the network security to send "LM & NTLM responses"
Conflicting statments, although in different areas... seems that my
statement still standards, MS will take the easy route with Vista and does
not think about the past and cost for its customers.
MS shoudl wake up, look around you, people love and relate to the past.
Change for change sake is not good.
You will be tellin me next that I cannot use word... and that I should
upgrade office completely next... well not thanks.. I have seen the reports
about Excel not giving the correct values thanks. just try 850*77.1 and you
will see what I mean !
I guess I'll run OUTLOOK in VirtualBox or MS Virtual 200 (which is free). Or
will you say stop, BLUE PILL !
Sorry but your not going to change my mind. This is bad on MS side....END
