Apple's Windows Apps Not Ready For Vista

narramissic writes "A new Apple technical support document confirms that none of the company's Windows Applications are compatible with Vista. Affected applications include: 'QuickTime, the iPod shuffle reset utility, Bonjour for Windows, AirPort for Windows, the iDisk utility, AppleWorks for Windows, and Apple Software Update for Windows. The stand-alone iPod updater for iTunes 6 for Windows also isn't ready for Vista.'" The article refers to an Apple tech support document dated "today" (02/08) — without providing a link — but a search turns up only this one from 02/02.

Not Ready

With so few 3rd-party applications available, it would appear that Windows Vista is simply not ready for the desktop.

They're in good company....

I'm not ready for Vista.

I have to say that iTunes is butt ugly on Vista, much like it was on XP.

And yet unsurprisingly it shines on Windows 2000 like a software Tek Jansen, sent from the future to save me from assured ugly GUI demise.

12 executions of iTunes in unison: "GO THAT WAY!"

Of course!

I'm pretty sympathetic to Apple on this score... after all, Microsoft has rushed Vista to the market so quickly, NO ONE could possibly have kept up with Microsoft's torrid pace!

Cut the poor Apple engineers some slack!
