Windows Vista RTM Software Compatibility List
From IeXwiki
This entry shall enable all ieXwiki members to create a list of software, that will work with Vista RTM (Build 6000), or won't work, so that it's possible to check that even before installation. Feel free to contribute.
For our previous results, check out the Beta 1 listing or the Build 5219 listing or the Build 5270 listing or the Build 5308 listing or the Build 5342 listing or the Build 5365 listing or the Build 5381 listing or the Beta 2 (Build 5384) listing or the Build 5456 listing or the Build 5472 listing or the Build 5536 listing or the RC1 (Build 5600) listing or the Build 5728 listing or the RC2 (Build 5744) listing.
However, for our hardware compatibility results, please see this alternative listing.
NOTES:
* Entries are in alphabetical order.
* Please mention the version/build number of the software and if it applies to the 32-bit and/or the 64-bit beta OS (e.g. "Software vX.XX.XXXX (32- and 64-bit)")!
* On 32-bit Vista RTM, 16-bit or 32-bit Windows programs which uses 16-bit drivers or VxDs will not work anyway as on any NT systems. 16-bit fullscreen DOS programs do not work.
* Announcement: For advanced users, Microsoft will release a new version of Virtual PC, called Virtual PC 2007, in the first quarter of 2007 that will allow users to run previous versions of the Windows OS on top of Windows Vista so you may use older applications. This program still has limits, however. Read more: [1] and [2].
