Microsoft Releases Update to Make IE7 ‘Vista Compatible’
,----[ Quote ]
| Did you notice that last one? Internet Explorer 7, included as part of the
| base Windows Vista installation, was apparently not fully Vista compatible.
| Instead of fixing IE7, this update presumably creates a shim to tweak Vista
| so it can work properly with IE7.

Microsoft makes its products incompatible with its own. In the case of Office
it's deliberate because it means money (forced upgrades, at the expense of the
customer's data preservation).

Windows Help files not supported in Vista

Windows Vista Compatibility Problems

| What the Microsoft CEO didn't mention is that products from Adobe
| Systems, IBM, Symantec, and a number of other high-profile developers
| didn't make the list of Vista-friendly applications that Microsoft says
| are either fully certified for Windows Vista or will at least run
| relatively trouble-free on the new OS.

Lack of Internal Talks at Microsoft, Google

| Maybe my "Microsoft's Entertainment Domination" theory was a bit
| premature. Apparently, the Zune MP3 player isn't flying off shelves
| and now it turns out that the Zune is incompatible with Microsoft'
| latest Windows Vista operating system. Amazing how a disconnect like
| this can occur within an organization. Software start-ups are taking
| advantage of the lowered development costs and the speedy development
| time -- and forcing large software organizations to speed up their
| own development cycles, but in the process, the large organizations
| are fumbling to communicate effectively amongst their departments.
