MS Vista Bluetooth stack rocks!

[SHoTTa35]

well i just got the shock of my life. I just bought the Nextlink Spider Bluetooth® Headset and suprised to say the actual headset doesn't sound so bad as i thought it might. This isn't about that tho but the fact that it was pain free getting it to work with Vista.

I got a bluetooth thingy from underclocker recently for my T42 just because, didn't really need one but it wouldn't hurt to have one. I have a HTC Star Trek and wanted to get a stereo headset to play music while i'm on the train going to work or whatever.

I enabled the BT in Vista, put the headset in paring mode, paired them and then off it went download and installing drivers for it from Windows Update. I thought A2DP wouldn't work with the MS BT Stack, most people say get Widcomm because it has all these cool things but it was so easy and simple. Here i am typing this and have WMP playing music in the background and i control WMP with it also.

So nice - how much trouble would that be in XP? (default MS Stack)

After all MS seemed to improved the hole bluethooth stuff. In XP i always had issues when bluetooth was enabled and i was hot docking and undocking. Sometimes the computer even hung. Other issues i was having with my MS bluetooth mouse where the intellipoint driver was always crashing when turing bluetooth on/off.

All this issues i don't have running vista. Bluetooth stack is rock solid.
