When chalking up what went incorrect with Vista, incompatible hardware/software generally would make it to the Leading 10 lists. So it;s understandable that the Windows group is performing every thing in its energy to create sure third parties are prepared with drivers and products which will work with Window seven appropriate out with the gate.Instance: Nvidia. Nvidia was so late to the game in obtaining its graphics wares to function ideal with Vista that people pretty much launched a class-action match towards the graphics vendor. On Could 7 — just two days after the Release Candidate (not even the final RTM version) of Windows seven was made available towards the public for testing — Nvidia issued a press release touting its Windows 7 readiness.(Nvidia;s not the only one,
Office Home And Stude/nt 2010 Key, as TG Daily points out. Yesterday, it was AMD claiming it was first to market with Windows seven drivers.)Microsoft is performing a very much better job this time around, at least so far,
Office Ultimate 2007, in letting people know what to expect, compatibility-wise, with Windows seven. Another instance: This week;s Windows Security Blog post explaining why some Windows 7 RC testers may perhaps be receiving incompatibility messages with their third-party security software program. (Answer: Microsoft has changed the application-programming interface in the Action Center and some vendors have not yet updated their products.)It;s not one big, happy,
Office 2007 Professional Plus, transparent (or even translucent) Windows 7 ecosystem out there, however. One of my readers has been trying to get Adobe to share information about its Windows 7 support plans for Creative Suite family and other items,
Office Pro 2007 Key, to no avail. (Windows XP Mode and MED-V are aimed at consumers of higher-end Windows seven SKUs,
Office Professional 2010, not the lower-end ones. And not everyone is ready/willing to run their apps nearly.)Are there any hardware or software program makers — or even Microsoft teams — you;d like to hear more from, in terms of their Windows seven support plans?
