This isn't the forum you're looking for, search google for a Windows support group or something.

Did you seriously just create your account to ask this, you do realize this is an OSdev forum, not Microsoft support?

This is a support forum, technically, but for people developing operating systems. ;)

??? - Either you're misinformed, or just trying to state that XP > Vista (please, no flame wars).

floppy support is the same in vista as it is in XP.

Apart from the rising flamewar, this thread is at the wrong address. (As well as an example of not asking the questions the right way)

To the original poster: Redirect your questions to http://support.microsoft.com/ where you should have gone in the first place.

Now move along, there's no free beer here.
