Microsoft's List Of 800 Vista-Compatible Apps Excludes IBM, Adobe - Microsoft has released a list of 800 applications that should run properly on its new Windows Vista operating system. As expected, virtually all of Microsoft's own offerings are on the list - including the latest Office 2007 products. Also included are a host of business and security applications from vendors ranging from Intuit to Trend Micro. And desktop applications from Google, which ramped up its rivalry with Microsoft earlier this week with the introduction of online business applications, made the cut. However, noticeable by their absence are applications from a number of the world's biggest software companies, including Adobe Systems, IBM, and Symantec. [OSNews]

Obviously Vista will get all to comply ?
If this year, it will reach 150 milliom new computers manufactured, none of the software companies will allow themselves to be left out of Vista.
We don't understand the way Microsoft works. They have an operating system, then they allow manufacturers to have a module in the OS to comply with their bios(offsets) for motherboard. They also allow each motherboard manufacturer to adjust their bios to run any commercial software with bios upgrades.
Of course, MS also allow each software manufacturer to fix their software to work with any MS operating system. MS don't touch other software themselves.
Most of the time, Linux experts-to-be did not study the way things happen. Some complex enterprise software will take one or two years to comply with Vista and hypervisor on Intel cpus.
