Why being a new adopter is rewarding
I had the experience that only new adopters get yesterday with my fresh Vista install. I tried to see this Ultimate Extras content and received an error 8024402C. Somehow in Vista, help isn’t the requiem of the weak-minded, so I hit the “Get Help” button with the knowledge no one would take away my manhood. So it came up with a paragraph on making changes to IE settings, which I tried—no luck—and decided to look into it that night.
While at home, I decided to try again, and the same error appeared. For some reason beyond reason, I clicked Help again and no longer saw one paragraph—now a lovely three paragraphs surrounded it. The experience of actually seeing online help update, and contain something useful, was one that only the strong and brave will ever get to see—but I hope I’m wrong. I hope this isn’t something that stops after 6 months, or a year, or even 2 years. I hope this updating of help only stops when the product comes to end of life, but previous experience paints a different picture.
