Are Packard Bell, AST, and HP (SYSF/Radish customers) aware of the following memo in Microsoft's Hardware Newsletter sent to developers in February 1997? "Update on VoiceView Technology and Windows-- VoiceView is not supported in Windows NT 4.0 and is not planned for Windows NT 5.0. As stated in PC 97 Hardware Design Guide, VoiceView is obsolete technology that is not recommended for simultaneous voice/data (SVD) integration. Microsoft plans to remove VoiceView INFs from future versions of Unimodem." I guess that rules out SystemSoft. They bet the farm, paying about $40 million dollars for obsolete technology, according to Microsoft. Not only is it a risk to buy a PC with Voiceview on it, but probably now a big gamble to buy a PC with SystemSoft SystemWizard on it (not only is their product unproven, but they may be bankrupt soon). Is Award, Cybermedia, Phoenix Technologies or someone else ready to step up to the plate? Maybe I should just hire a secretary to sit on the phone for a half hour waiting for the tech. support staff to pick up the phone!!!
