Apple's Windows Apps Not Ready For Vista

Posted by kdawson on from the day-late dept.

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.

    From my experience, Quicktime works fine under Vista, and I've used it extensively. The apple software update works as well. Perhaps they mean it works, but just isn't supported?

      No I think it has more to do with paying MS for the little bit of QA that lets them put the "certified for Vista" sticker on the box.

      I have a handful of old NES carts that never bore the "Nintendo Seal of Quality", and they worked fine too.

      This is just slashdot at it's lamest level of its-not-news-but-we-can-bash-msft-if-we-spin-it-is hness
