Microsoft Corp. today
released
a list of known programs that experience some sort of "loss of functionality"
with Windows Vista SP1.
The list of 11 products -- divided into categories of "blocked from starting,"
"do not run" and "loss of functionality (minor or major)"
-- is based on reported issues and is "not comprehensive," the company
said. Many of the affected programs offer newer versions or upgrades that will
make the software compatible (linked below where applicable).
As of press time, the products are:
Blocked from Starting
Do Not Run
Loss of Functionality
As Vista SP1 was released
to manufacturing and IT professionals this month, the list may grow -- especially
after the update goes live for consumers in March.
