　　* SuperAdsBlocker v2 (32 Bit) 　　

　　点评：反间谍软件，我们看到的都是基于32Bit的，不知有没有适合64Bit的反间谍软件，不过毕竟现在用64BitVista的人还是蛮少的，还是先在32Bit上站稳脚跟吧！




　　杀毒软件

　　* Avast v4.6.744 Home Edition (32 Bit) [NOTE: Active Scanning does NOT work.]

　　* Avast v4.6.763 Home Edition (32 Bit) [NOTE: All features now APPEAR to work!]

　　* Eset NOD32 v2.50.16 (32 Bit)

　　* Eset NOD32 v2.51.8 (32 Bit and 64 Bit) [NOTE: Control Center doesn't work in account with administrator privileges (UAPs fault?), works fine with built-in Administrator account.]
* Etrust Antivirus Corporate v7.0.139 (32 Bit)

　　* F-Prot AntiVirus v3.16c (32 Bit)

　　* Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal Pro (32 Bit)

　　* Kaspersky Anti-Virus v6.0.299 (32 Bit)

　　* Symantec Norton Antivirus 2003 Professional (32 Bit)

　　* Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security v14.55.1003 (32 Bit)

　　* VirusChaser v5 (32 Bit) 　　

　　点评：卡巴斯基、诺顿和PC-cillin都上榜了，证明在软件领域里，杀毒软件都是永远拼博风头浪尖的，而且笔者看到AVG这样一款免费的杀毒软件也能立刻跟进Vista的开发，实在是让人有点惊讶。




　　备份软件

　　* DriveImage v7 (32 Bit)

　　* Ghost v9 (32 Bit)
　　

　　点评：Vista现在采用了镜像安装的方式，所以在安装时间上大大缩短了，我们还需要DriveImage或Ghost吗？答案当然是肯定的，毕竟花上三四十分钟装一个纯净的Vista，还不如用五分钟就能镜像还原了。而且所有的设置驱动都装好。

　　光盘相关软件

　　* AnyDVD v5.3.2.1 (32 Bit)

　　* AnyDVD v5.9.4.1 (32 Bit)

　　* AnyDVD v5.9.6.3 (32 Bit)

　　* AnyDVD v6.0.0.4 (32 Bit)
* CloneDVD v2.8.4.1 (32 Bit)

　　* Virtual CloneDrive v5.1.3.1 (32 Bit)

　　* Virtual CloneDrive v5.1.4.5 (32 Bit) 　　

　　点评：笔得在使用Vista里面的刻录功能时常遇到问题，所以只能使用专业的刻录软件，其中国人用得最多的就是Nero，在列表中卡Nero各版本的支持都不错，著名的虚拟光驱软件Daemon Tools也支持得不错。





压缩软件

　　* 7-Zip v3.42 (32 Bit) [NOTE: Works, but file associations do not stick.]

　　* Power Archiver v9.25 (32 Bit)

　　* WinRAR v4 Beta (32 Bit)

　　* WinZip v9.0 (32 Bit)

　　* ZipGenius v6.0.2.1041 (32 Bit) 　　

　　点评：在国外大部分人都使用公开免费的Zip格式，所以装了Vista后就不必安装WinZip等软件了，系统本身就支持压缩/解压缩。但国内很多软件都是用RAR格式压缩的，所以装上一个还是必要的，至于你用的是WinRAR还是7-Zip，就要看看这篇文章了《》

　　点评：看到一款国人开发的BT软件列在榜中，感觉还是不错的，其他的例如eMule。第二代BT软件eXeem和Shareaza也都能完全兼容了，我们在Vista里下载文件应该不会受到什么Bug的困扰了吧？

　　* PeerGuardian v2.0 Beta 6b (32 Bit) [NOTE: Windows Defender stops it from blocking.]

　备份软件

　　* DriveImage v7 (32 Bit SW on 64 Bit OS)

　　* Ghost v9 (32 Bit SW on 64 Bit OS) 　　

　　点评：这两款软件的32Bit版本，运行在64版本的Vista上是可以的，但是回到了32Bit上好象就有着严重的问题。

模拟器

　　* PCAE v2.0 (32 Bit) [NOTE: Won't open!]

　　* Stella 20060409 Nightly (32 Bit) [NOTE: Quits after selecting a ROM to load!] 　　

　　点评：似乎兼容性方面出了大问题，一个是不能开启，一个是连Rom也不能Load进模拟器里，等于等废了武功。

　　图形图象

　　* ACDSee v6 (32 Bit) [NOTE: Can't be installed!]

　　* ACDSee v7 (32 Bit) [NOTE: Can't be installed!] 　　

　　点评：ACDSee v6、V7版居然连安装都不行，会不会是用户帐户控制搞的鬼呢？

　　* Foobar2000 v0.9 B6 (32 Bit) [NOTE: On trying to open music files you receive an "Unhandler exception: bad allocation" Error!]

　　* Musicmatch Jukebox v10 (32 Bit) [NOTE: Appears to install successfully, but will not launch.]

　　* Photo Story v3 (32 Bit)

　　* Tunebite DRM Stripper v3 (32 Bit) [NOTE: Installer works fine when put in "Windows XP" compatability mode, but due to Vista's new sound-driver system, the program can't detect soundcards and will NOT work!]

　　* Virtuosa v5.0 (32 Bit) [NOTE: Reports an ASPI error and won't play.]

　　* Windows Media Encoder v9 [NOTE: Do NOT restart computer after installation, and uninstall software before shutting down!]

　　* Windows Movie Maker v2 (32 Bit) [NOTE: Vista Build 5231 comes with it and works just fine.] 　　

　　点评：Foobar2000也有问题，当你打开音乐文件时会报错。还好经典的Winamp没有名列其中。
即时通信

　　* AIM v5.9.3861 (32 Bit on 64 Bit OS) [NOTE: Install hangs on imghlp.dll!]

　　* Klient v2.1.4 (32 Bit) [NOTE: Installs fine, but crashes immediately when attempting to run!] 　　

　　点评：AIM在安装时，一个叫imghlp.dll的文件令安装程序停止了。

　　VPN

　　* Checkpoint SecuRemote (32 Bit) [NOTE: I've tried all versions, but setup thinks it's trying to install on XP and quits!]

　　* Cisco VPN Client v4.0 (32 Bit)

　　* Cisco VPN Client v4.8.01.0300 (32 Bit) [NOTE: Setup can't create VPN device and fails!]

　其他各类

　　* Bluesoleil Bluetooth v2 (32 Bit) [NOTE: Installer errors 272 and aborts at the drivers part due to undetected device!]

　　* Gimp, The (32 Bit)

　　* HP IP Console Viewer 2.5b (32 Bit on 64 bit OS) [NOTE: InstallAnywhere halts on extracting the installer. When prompted to "Please select another location to extract the installer to:" it will not progress no matter where you choose to extract the applciation!]

　　* Microsoft Intellipoint v5.2 (32 Bit) [NOTE: Will NOT show selection of mice!]

　　* Teamspeak RC2 (32 Bit) [NOTE: Codec NOT supported!]

　　* Tellique/Tellitec Satellite Server/Client Proxy Application - All Versions (32 Bit) [NOTE: Will NOT allow data back via satellite!]　　

　　点评：蓝牙适配器、Gimp专业图形处理软件等软件，都在安装或使用时出现较比大的问题，所以被列在了不兼容的列表里面。总体来说，虽然Vista的软件兼容性已经做得不错了，但是上面还是有这么多常规软件使用时出了问题。作为一款基本的软件，当操作系统与软件发生冲突后，我们不可能通过卸载操作系统来壁开Bug，所以该款软件的应用便会受到抑制，希望Vista能尽快解决这些Bug，让更多的软件能够流畅地运行在上面。

有一定问题，但可以修正的软件：

　　杀毒软件

　　* McAfee Enterprise v8.0i (32 Bit) [NOTE: Auto-update does NOT work; Performance is best with patch 11

　　* Spysweeper 4.0 (32 Bit) [NOTE: Run setup in "XP Compatibility" mode.] 　

　　点评：McAfee看来现在对Vista的兼容性还没调整好。

　　光盘相关

　　* Cyberlink DVD Solution (32 Bit) [NOTE: Run setup in "XP Compatibility" mode.]

　　* Daemon Tools v3.11 (32 Bit) [NOTE: However installing it deactivated Vista!]

　　* Nero Burning ROM/Ultra Edition v6.6.1.4 (32 Bit) [NOTE: Nero Recode crashes!]

　　* Nero Burning ROM/Ultra Edition v6.6.3.0 (32 Bit) [NOTE: Fails after installation, but works properly.]

　　* PowerISO v3.0 (32 Bit) [NOTE: Program itself works, but virtual drive not readable!] 　　

　　点评：Nero和Daemon Tools也有几个版本榜上有名，可能不是所有的用户，在使用上一点问题都遇不到吧。

　　开发软件

　　* Macromedia Dreamweaver v8 (32 Bit) [NOTE: Some errors cause it to never work until you restore, so watch which features you use.]

　　* Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition (32 Bit) [NOTE: Must jump through hoops to get .NET CF bits installed, but otherwise seems fine.]

　　* Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition (32 Bit on 64 bit OS) [NOTE: No problems installing .NET CF bits. OS will prompt about known compatibility issues with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition x64 - requires SP1 to be applied to SQL Server after installation.] 　　

　　点评：VS 2005也会有不兼容的情况，这倒是比较出乎笔者的意料。

　　模拟器

　　* Gens+ v0.0.9.60 (32 Bit) [NOTE: Attempting to switch or boot in Direct3D mode will cause gens+.exe to crash!]

　　* MAME32 Plus! v0.106- (32 Bit) [NOTE: Folder List View is black, but text can be read, so just disable Folder List View.] 　　

　　点评：看来街机模拟器和MD模拟器还是有些地方兼容性做得不够啊。

非常感谢！
