Oh well, they may get it right in service pack 2 then. Just adds another reason why I won't be installing Vista on any of my machines here for a long time to come.
Yet it still allows stuff like McAfee & Norton to work.
Oh wait, they don't do anything in the first place...
Now that's COMPLETELY untrue, dave - Norton sucks up huge amounts of CPU time and memory and shows a dinky little yellow shield in the system tray. Bargain, if you ask me!
Just a pointer - it blocks certain apps running on startup which have compatibility issues with Vista SP1 (as stated in the KB article that they linked to). Most vendors affected have already released updates which fix these compatibility issues, and cause them to run fine.
I honestly can't see a problem here - I'd rather play safe than sorry when making a change of the magnitude of a service pack. Still, it's not like El'Reg to let a bit of balanced, researched journalism get in the way of a good story, eh?
how can anything pcworld recommend be bad?

I remeber when Norton was actiually good software, then from about 2003 version it kinda went down hill very quickly indeed.
Still thats getting off topic.
Ah, my apologies, you are indeed right....
How can anything that's on The Register be untrue?how can anything pcworld recommend be bad?
Probably more true than the Inquirer but with less humour.

At least its not FUDZilla
I had ti re-install ESET smart security after sp1 because the AntiVir stopped working, but it's ok now. Not too much hastle.

makes sense really, MS improves the security and reliability of the OS by blocking badly written software that does stuff its not supposed to do
Imagine how stable and secure windows would be if every bit of software released HAD to conform to the correct standards...sure we'd have almost no software, but crashes would be a thing of the past..
Software should be modelled around the OS and not the other way around, but ofc for most of the IT and national press this is just another chance to have a go at Microsoft ;/ Even the BBC is at this (they published this story a few days back also)
