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.

Dear god, who would want to pollute their machine with Norton 360 when there are so many better alternatives out there - Kaspersky being one example; which is already Windows Vista compatible and better still doesn't hack around in the kernel stuffing up in areas where it shouldn't be.
Using it right now, and it is a great product - avoid Symantec and McAfee at all costs; if it weren't for the shocking product quality, its their active programme of lying about Patchguard and its impact on companies like theirs.
