I'd sure like to see more on this FORUM looking into this!??

This time my browsing on this WebSite found the following:

(a) "Internet Explorer 7 and Windows Vista® are not supported" and

(b) When I tried to follow this lead: " A detailed listing of models covered by this information can be found on the About Site / Coverage page "... when I tried to follow this lead, I could NOT find the "About Site / Coverage page" !!

RE: (a) - IMHO this technical fact and their "minimum" hardware requirements will probably prevent a majority of us from even considering this service. Despite the reasonable pricing... many, if not most of us try to keep our Operating Systems (OS) performing optimally and I suspect this will grow in time... so unless those promoting this "for-a-fee" WebSite... unless they upgrade to support the latest version of WinXP and/or Vista, this product will whither on the vine! We are always under pressure to upgrade hardware, primarily to accommodate additional graphics capabilities so that is nothing new... but it seems strange that with such demanding hardware requirements that they would NOT support WinXP V7 and "Vista" which are enhanced to handle graphics much better.

RE: (b) - All I can do is report my findings... or lack of findings!

Does anyone out there have a better grasp of the technical side of this WebSite than my obviously ability??
