Microsoft released several updates to Windows Vista Monday, the day before the new operating system debuted for consumers and landed on retail shelves. None of the updates were security fixes. The five updates for the 32-bit version of Vista - one was immediately replaced Tuesday with an update to the update - fix difficulties installing the OS on PCs with more than 3GB of memory, troubles connecting with a VPN server, and performance problems with Internet Explorer 7 and its anti-phishing feature. The largest of the five updates, however, is one that addresses incompatibility issues for a host of applications and games.

If the developers of those applications didnt bother testing them with Vista and report the errors, whose fault is it then?
Given, that the following applications are part of the list
- MS Encarta Standard 2007
- Microsoft Money 2005
- Microsoft Money 2006
- Office 2003 Web Folders
- Outlook 2003
I can only conclude, that a part of the blame should indeed be directed towards MS (at least towards the departments that develop this applications. Addressing incompatiblities of their own products that late is, sorry, embarrassing).
