Vista support FAQ

Vista support FAQ: The front page of the Adobe Support Center now has a link to a Windows Vista Compatibility document [PDF, 127K], to join the prior Intel-based Mac Support. The document goes through, product by product, and tells what we know of the existing applications, working atop the new operating system. There's also info on upcoming changes, where announced, and links to technotes as they've become available. The document will be updated as more people run Vista in more ways -- expect this document to change. Basically, stuff that's pretty recent runs pretty well on Vista, but some apps will need minor updaters for full functionality in the final shipping OS. Creative Suite 2.3 is better than 2.0... hardware-based apps (audio/video tools particularly) need the driver situation to stabilize... Macromedia Studio 8 doesn't list any showstoppers. I greatly appreciate that the support staff pulled this together... it involved a lot of people, in a lot of product teams, many of whom were working on deadline for major releases this spring. If this document doesn't yet meet your own needs, then drop a line in comments here and I'll see what I can do, thanks.

That is a helpful document. Much appreciated.

However it is not a complete list of current products. I can't be the only one who's job would be made easier by indications from Adobe of Vista support intentions for products like Director and Authorware. Even if the entries were similar to those for PageMaker and FreeHand.

Sometimes management see documents like this:

While their developers are stuck with this:
