This is complete BS! Intel is charging for their webcam software, wtf?!

Well, if it was a newer cam, it should *probably* have the install software in there. But if it's an older cam, you're out of luck. I have to go check for myself at a retailer. I'm not paying intel 6 dollars for software that should come free, stupid bastages. What's six dollars to them? They rape on their processor prices anyways.

Uh... it's their product. You don't bitch if Microsoft doesn't give you versions of Windows for free, do you?

that analogy made no sense. whereas you don't need a new version of windows to use windows, you do need the software for the webcam to be of any use. it would be like if you bought a keyboard off ebay and found that it was missing the cord.

If you *chose* to update your opperating system, then it's your fault for needing it. Just quit bitching and either don't use the webcam or pay a couple bucks for the damn webcam software or don't update your OS. It's really not Intel's problem what you do.

They should talk about charging for the software. Microsoft doesn't charge for window's update or even a service pack. Why should Intel charge for the software that comes with the hardware. How would it be if all the hardware manufacturers charged for drivers or even for updating the drivers. You wouldn't mind them, and you wouldn't complain at all?
Aye, it's sad really. Hardware vendors charging for software upgrades, and people on AT being just too damn quick to flame. Sheesh, people these days! Well, off for another hour, searching that bloody site. I actually found it before, a few months ago, before my backup drive decided to unformat itself 🙁
A company charging for software just so that their product works is insane. How would we all like it if Nvidia decided to have never supported Windows XP and made you pay a 5$ service charge for the drivers just so it could work on your Windows XP box? Bet that would piss a hell of a lot of people off, but I guess since this only applies to a small product (Intel Webcam) it's not revelant eh? How bout for every time you select a download from WindowsUpdate.com or from Windows Product Support website they make you pay a $2 fee?

Does the camera say, on the box, "supports Win2K/XP"?
