According to smart house news dot com dot au, If you have a new generation notebook or Desktop PC and are running Vista forget about getting access to the new Bigpond Next G™ network. Apparently the software that the Next G hardware uses will not work with Vista. Whilst, Telsta claim to be a key partner of Microsoft it seems they don’t support the new Windows operating system with their new range of Bigpond modems despite the OS already being launched to enterprise customers. That’s a really big oops as it was only weeks ago Microsoft launched the final version of their new Windows operating system to the enterprise market. These are the corperations that would of course spend millions on new notebooks and have hundreds if not thousands of employees who need remote wireless access or are now running Vista on their desktop.
However, Telstra no longer supports windows 98. but that is just their software to set it up you can log into modem and set it up manually which is what I did for a friend. It possible the next gen systems will be able to do that with vista. I won’t know until I play with it more.
