Software Compatibility?

I heard lots of 'complaints' regarding software compatibility on Windows Vista.. Hmm.. Anyone wanna share anything?

If you did make frequent checks and window updates, I'm sure you will have "none" of the compatibility problems and errors, at least I did not. Anyways, I'm using "Window Vista Enterprise" ^@^ Not even one "compatibility" problems encountered so far.

*~* Acme *~*

Well, it depends.. i did frequent check and updates-yet i face no software incompatibility so far with my Vista Ultimate.. I'm sure ur one of those lucky ones, acme.. ;)

Many Vista user tend to downgrade their window to XP, all the answer i get from asking them why is "Very slow, not used to it, lag, softwares cant install...etc", what i say is just good, come you pay i downgrade it for you. XD
Btw some laptop which specially design for window vista, like Acer Aspire series( the most famous laptop model which i can see in UNIMAS), the window xp's driver were hard to find, recently i got i special driver backup software and really helped me alot to get the xp driver from those already vista downgraded laptop :p. It really saved me alot of time haha.
What i trying to say is, window xp is going to outdated( no more update will be release after 2009 or 2010), i've thinking to upgraded my window xp based Toshiba Satellite L100 to window vista recently, don't look down at it, it is WIndow VISTA CAPABLE!!!!!.
So if anyone stil say " not used to it", take the chance to follow the trend, and used to it. Update~

Haha.. thanks a lot, idonoaboutxp..
Dat sounds like a support 2 me using vista.. hehe..
Anyway, i heard lotsa people face visual studio C++ incompatibily.. watcha thinkin?

So far, i also heard of that frequently. I'm not sure about it coz i
haven't have a chance to experience it. At this moment, i'll suggest
them to use the newer version of C++ instead of that old version.

visual studio 07, although its much more user friendly but the code is bit diffrent with the previous version, i would suggest them to run dual boot on vista and install program in xp

mengz, It's a good idea,but not much people knows tat.

xp faced out d...
vista is not stable enuf to compete wf others..
windows 7 will cum soon..
ok, here i go..
my vista dun hav the prob of compatibility..
the only prob only occured when i was installing the PIRATED ANTIVIRUS..McAfee, Norton-Synmantec... etc
so i m using avast.. now.. currently..
tats all..

Kaspersky compatible with every window except linux or apple XD

kaspersky.. always being blacklisted... sum more dun hav the installer.. avast not bad :)

There is Kaspersky 8.0 with a new serial key which can last till you graduate

where? i was blur

ya, acme is right, i'm using kaspersky anti virus 2008(8.0), the license key valid until 2010 :)
And the installer is easy, just download from www.kaspersky.com
Enjoy~

I had wonderful time using windows vista except software compatibility issues. Sumtime even if you trying to install visual 6 in windows xp, it will gives u an error. What you can do is, restart your windows and it's done. Trust me 8)

Recently i heard many of my friends are facing problem with Minitab due to Statistics.. Well, just to share, Minitab 15 is compatible with Vista, so worry no more.:)

huh.. wtf with vista? not compatible with dreamweaver, matlab, minitab blablabla.. 1st day bought tis laptop, few hours later formatted it to winxp. feels more comfortable..

Dreamweaver cs3 works just fine and minitab 15 works perfectly fine with vista! I bet u had vista home premium@basic?

Most software on 2007 and onwards are compatible with vista.

I have a 2006 dictionary, but it cant support vista :x

May i know wat dictionary is dat? Cambridge.. oxford?
