USB-Blaster on Windows 7

<RANT>

First, thank you altera FORUM people

for all of your help.

big, jucy NON-THANK-YOU'S to the

altera tech support people who dont

seem to be able to read the forums and

suggest to their manement that they have

a serious issue here, and it is only going'

to get worse as WIN7 gets more popular,

because we have no alteranative anymore.

Second: Wow, what a total fail win7 and

altera make togeather.

Silly me, I bought a new (sucky win7 but

I have no choice!) os computer, and I though

that Altera would have their $hit togeather,

and if I simply installed the Q11.x programmer

surely these windoze 7 issues would have been

resoved by Altera by now.

Nope. 2 days of fighting with it later, and the

only way I got it to work was to use the 7.2SP3

drivers.

Seriously Altera, get your act togeather. I know

that windows sucks, but the people that made my

$150 USB o-scope seem to get it right, and I am

sure you folks have some people that are smarter

than they are.
