Phil tells me that there are no plans to - (Windows XP)

Posted: Mar 06, 2014

send out new computers when Microsoft ends its support of XP in April. Just curious if that's what anyone else with an XP computer is hearing?? TIA

They were supposed to upgrade you to a Windows 7 computer when they upgraded to Fluency 7. - got mine

Although the computer they sent me was all screwed up and I had to fix it myself. Fortunately they had not paid attention to what was in the box and the recovery disks were in the box.

You could tweak something to cause it not to work anymore so they have to send you another one if you care about XP vulnerability which, in the end, is their problem.

So . . . . - Anon

My company issued computer has XP. Does that mean the end of April I will get another company issued computer? I cannot afford to buy a new computer to download their software. Or,will those of us with XP be without a job? Interesting thought.

No, Phil seems to think - that Kaspersky

will handle any problems that may arise. (?)I did have a Windows 7, but it quit and when they sent me a replacement, it was back to XP. I complained, but they told me it "should work fine."

I still have an xp computer - anon

I just got a new computer and it had the same old xp on it.

They're continuing to use XP - Anon

I have a Windows 7 and was having problems. It turned out the problem was due to a recent Windows Update I had installed. They removed that update, turned automatic Windows Updates OFF on my computer, and told me to manually install Critical Updates ONLY due to compatibility issues with some of the updates and Fluency. They told me if they were to send me a new PC it would be an XP.

Per an Internet search, Kaspersky is supposed - L&L

to be the only company remaining effective for XP after 4/8/14. We shall see. I went through heck trying to get a new MM computr, and could not. I have a dual boot with XP and W7, so if my XP side fails, I will use the W7 side, but I don't want to.

i was sent an M2 PC a few months back and got XP - whats the big deal

not like we use Microsoft support anyway

XP computer as replacement - BH

[ In Reply To ..]
When the original computer they supplied me when I hired could not support Fluency, they sent me a replacement computer. I asked why they did not send me a Windows 7. Help Desk said they have to pay more in license fees for Windows 7, so that's why they sent me XP.

I recently received an E-mail to call a company who is hiring for a large oncology account. The company's name does not sound like it would be an MTSO but rather a company that handles data for other companies. I called the company, the person seemed very nice, but was not very informative about medical transcription or even the aspects behind hiring MTs. There was no mention of a test. Paperwork was sent to me. Everything looked legit. There was mention ...

Because they lie. The only way you can find out if you are eligible is through your state. Don't believe Nuance. Their insurance premiums go up if you get unemployment, as does any employer's, and that's why they say that as a knee-jerk reflex. Because they lie. Good luck everyone. ...

Approved time sheet for last week. Used the new pay plan to see the difference. I had over 99% and under 10%. Good thing because I MADE LESS MONEY with this new plan, almost $40. That's for 1 week. So multiply that by 4 weeks - $160 per month. I don't think so. Already took a pay cut by doing VR. Time to start sending out resumes. ...

As you all may know, Nuance (formerly known as Focus) has acquired Encompass and OSI companies. So, we get this email today stating a company who formerly handled OSI's HR dept, payroll, benefits, etc. is going to now be handling ours (Nuance). Well as a result, we are going with a different ins company for health benefits. We previously had Blue Cross Blue Shield. I was paying approx. $450 a month for family coverage, and it was a good plan. Now, they are ...

try to get your old schedule back? My change was "forced" on me and I was wondering with the new grouping and such, if I should try to get my schedule back. It was kind of a bizzare change in that I already worked one weekend day and was told I needed to work the other weekend day instead, so now I dont even have 2 days off in a row...that could be remedied I am told, but switching my other day offf....that was optional and for now I said no. ...

So I finally decided to submit a remedy ticket about the months coming through not capitalized (have you all noticed this?). I explained that when a complete date is dictated it seems to do fine, but if the month is just used in a sentence, such as "in September" they are not capatlized. When is a month not supposed to be capitalized? These used to be correct but for many months now they haven not been. So I get a call from "Phil" who wants me to explain the problem. He doesn't ...

I've been curious for some time what the "Reviewer Display Name" listed in FIESA really tell us about who is reviewing our work. For instance, I've heard if you have US in the name, so like "Jane Doe NTS-US" as the Reviewer Display Name, that would mean that the reviewer was in fact in the US and worked for Nuance. I think there are probably ones that are reviewed by offshore, but I'm not sure how they appear. But what about other things in their names. So, what ...
