We use Aloaha FAX Suite (www.aloaha.com) and are pretty happy with that!

...Well that's just weird...

I use Vista Business (32-bit) at work... There's no Fax and Scan.

...Furthermore...

I use Vista Business (64-bit) at home... There's no Fax and Scan there
EITHER.

Are you sure it's Vista Business and not Vista Enterprise? It can be
installed as an optional component on Enterprise.

To quote Microsoft:

"Windows Fax and Scan is on the main All Programs menu of the Windows Vista
Business and Windows Vista Ultimate editions. It can be installed as an
optional component in Windows Vista Enterprise. Windows Fax and Scan enables
you to perform all faxing and scanning tasks and manage all of your faxes
and scanned documents from one location."

How sad is this Bob?

I am unable to print .tif documents properly - received through an e-fax
service on my brand new Laptop with Vista Premium on.

I do not care to be able to fax because it is not cost effective anyway. I
live in South Africa and find the additional cost to buy (In $'s) a
functionality that I have paid for in the past alarming and to be frank -
dishonest. I do not refer to support for Fax Viewer but I dit pay for the
actual software when I bought XP.

The term "bundling offerings" is just a smart word to disguise the simple
principle of stealing from people who does not have the resources to take on
a giant company like Microsoft. I believe that one day Microsoft will reap
what they are sowing.
