Dropped support for home fax users in Vista Home Premium

What happened to the simple Fax support that Windows XP had? I am certainly
glad that I didn't upgrade all of my older computers to Vista, otherwise I
would have completely lost the ability to send a required monthly fax to one
of the government offices that I have to report to. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for
dropping support for those of us with small home offices that need simple
features like faxing from our computers!!!!

Try Snappy Fax.

Relatively inexpensive ($30.00) and works well with Vista.

This lack of fax support for Vista Home Premium also stops me from using the
fax on my SBS 2003. Not a very "Premium" product. This kind of treatment to
people that PAY for your products, will drive them to FREE operating systems
like Linux. I'm getting less and less comfortable advising my clients to use
Microsoft products.
