Backward compatibility is not “completely broken”. That’s hyperbole. I can come up with many examples of lousy software that runs just fine on Vista. If it’s not working, then it’s generally doing something it shouldn’t be.

You know, like calculating heating loads and CFM to pump into a room, all that stuff your computer shouldn't do anyway. Not buying new software because the old software is paid for is just wrong.

Go ask the software vendor why their lousy software doesn’t work and when it’ll be fixed. Since the OS has been out more than a year, I suspect that you’d rather bitch than demand accountability from the actual makers of your software.
