Windows Vista1
Microsoft, I think compatibility with a wide array of programs needs

immediate attention. When I switched to Vista, it was like starting all over

again with a new computer. I try to transfer programs from XP to Vista but

compatibility is ALWAYS an issue, and Vista won't allow the programs,

documents & files and even some software into the PC running Vista.

Thanks to all,

That's the case whenever any new operating system is released. Many

software manufacturers are often slow to make their products compatible

with the new OS, as they'd much rather sell you new versions. That's

why people check the compatibility of their current applications (and

hardware components/peripherals) *before* deciding to purchase a new OS.

You are absolutely right in what you say. It is deplorable behavior by the

authors of 3rd party programs. I would like to know where these people get

off in expecting us to buy new versions and not supplying us with free

software for use on our computers.



If we let this behavior go by without making a stand, we will be expected to

pay for food, clothes, cars, stereos. Who knows where it will all end..

"compatibility is ALWAYS an issue"

I don't think so!



I have had only 1 program(Nero 6) that was totally incompatible with vista.

The rest installed easily, or were installed in the XP SP2 mode.

Hello Tonio:

There are a lot of programs that DO work with Vista. Here is a MS

website you can check with to see if software you want is compatible with

Vista:
