Am I missing something? Microsoft is launching a Windows Vista compatibility center in beta? Seventeen months after Vista shipped everywhere? Oh, yeah, and the Windows Vista Compatibility Center is one of the big announcements from Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference in Houston. Isn't this the kind of thing you do before an operating system ships? Release compatibility tools for real, not in beta?I planned to write about what's in the beta. But I went to the Windows Vista Compatibility Center and all I got was this lousy screenshot. That sounds like a T-Shirt slogan, doesn't it? There's nothing there. Poof. Pure vaporware.

It's a wonder he can type like that.
That compatibility iniciative is interesting as they will receive user's feddback. Just remember that many software developers today are not writing software following 100% Vista guidelines. I write this as a developer.
When some companies/developers write something that is not 100% Vista guidelines compliant, its surprising that the applications work well. But sadly, when they not, Microsoft is to blame.
Hopefully, this site will help application users give feedback and help Microsoft enforce compatibility with its partners, a thing that almost everyone is already in, but there are still some exceptions.
Nope, sounds like moronic ranting to me. Darn it, I wasted 5 seconds of my life that I can't get back either!!
Also, did Bill Gates touch this guy as a child or something?
Hehe. Perhaps he has MS confused with MJ...
Duh. Some of them will never get resolved, because of the changes. The same happened with Win XP, and Win 95.
Eg: Star Wars : Rogue Squadron and many games from that era don't work in Vista anymore.
