Summary: Vista 7 still a no-go area for those who expect compatibility with hardware, software, and Web sites; GPL violations in Vista 7 tool are finally corrected (months late)
ACCORDING to The Register, the compatibility complex of Vista 7 by all means persists.
The Royal Mail’s Parcelforce website is upsetting some Windows 7 fans, because the service doesn’t support Microsoft’s latest operating system.
As we last pointed out a few days ago, compatibility issues in Vista 7 are a recurring theme. For example we have:
Signs That Vista 7 — Like Vista — Will Pose Compatibility IssuesVista 7 Starter Edition Called “Too Wimpy” by IDG, Compatibility Problems ForeseenVista 7 Roundup: Microsoft Admits Upgrade Errors, People Wait for SP1, Compatibility Issues IdentifiedVista 7 — Just Like Vista — Incompatible with Vital ServicesVista 7 Incompatibility Issues, Crashes, and More NPD LiesJerry Seinfeld Dumps Vista, Some Users Prefer Vista Over Vista 7 Because of IncompatibilityVista 7 Crashes on Certain Hardware, Stifles Samba CompatibilityVista 7 Crashes on Certain Hardware, Stifles Samba CompatibilityWindows, Cisco Do Not Support Vista 7
Well, compatible or not, Vista 7 is finally compliant with the GPL (many pro-Microsoft people rave about it, including Mary Jo Foley) after violating the GPL [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] and not for the first time, either [1, 2, 3]. █
