Vista SP1 Is Even Less Compatible

Posted by kdawson on from the preemptive-diasabling dept.

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "Microsoft is now saying that Vista SP1 disables some 3rd party applications. The KB article on SP1 incompatibility states: 'For reliability reasons, Microsoft blocks these programs from starting after you install Windows Vista SP1.' It does link to several vendor support pages with updates or workarounds. Unfortunately, at least one of the suggestions consists of merely disabling part of the program, which could leave you with half an anti-virus solution."

    Intrigued by your sig, I dug into your journal and decided you are strict constitutionalist. In this case, what is the point of your statement? It initially comes off as some kind of praise or justification. This confuses me because I don't understand how patriotism usurps laws against murder. If your intent is something else, it is lost on me.
