There are obviously changes to RC1 and you have to wait for the antivirus
companies to catch up. There is no law that says they must. They may be
getting quite tired about now of trying to stay current with the dozens of
new releases.

When Windows XP was being introduced, many companies didn't release
compatibility updates (or new versions) until XP went gold - RTM - released
to manufacturing.

I would not expect all 3rd party issues to be resolved until Vista reaches
that same point in development. Some problems may never be addressed. Many
manufacturers take this as an opportunity to shove a new version of the
program (which you must pay for) down out throats.

Symantec is well known to do this!
