Vista's networking features are still broken in SP1

I, too, enjoy Vista's eye candy and overall experience with the OS... but anyone who claims that they have never had any problems with Vista have never used Vista in a corporate environment with a large number of employees and contractors attempting to VPN into their networks.

Vista's VPN functionality is virtually unuseable when remoting into networks with more than one DNS server, or into networks using subnets in the 10.x.x.x range where any other subnet mask other than a Class A mask are in use (and only companies with literally MILLIONS of PC's in the SAME building or campus would EVER have a need for a Class A subnet mask), etc.

Plain and simple... XP's networking components work... period. Vista's networking components are either unreliable or completely useless, and SP1 barely fixed any of these issues.

It would appear that Microsoft has no intention of fixing these serious flaws, which makes it look like they are about to release a "premium" networking product that we all have to pay for if we want these features to work properly.

If Microsoft EVER pulls a stunt like that, I can tell you the names of over 250 companies, accounting for over 2,100,000 copies of Windows that will switch to Linux. Linux's networking also works... period.
