Programs incompatible with vista?

[joboils]

Is there, anywhere, a list of XP-comapatible programs which users have
found are incompatible with vista? (I don't mean stuff like printer
drivers - although that would be annoying enough - but full programs.)
TIA.

This maybe not what you want to hear, but I usually go on a case by case
basis. Most times, the software company's website will point out which
version, if any, is the Vista-compatible one. More often than not, companies
are making only their current versions Vista-compatible and earlier versions
(those compatible with XP) are being "left behind".

Adobe Acrobat is a good example. Acrobat 8 was released earlier this year
and Adobe said they would put out an update making Acrobat 8 compatible with
Vista which they have indeed done. Earlier versions (Acrobat 6 and 7),
however, would not get any such updates.

I hope this helps,

Not really.
