Disapeared from vista

Are they purposefully trying to herd the remaining Windows-artists to Macs? What a stupid move. From TFA: Adobe, which will face competition from Microsoft this year when Microsoft releases its Expression suite of graphics and multimedia design tools, did not immediately return a request to comment.

Why should MS be doing the work? All that list refers to is the list of applications submitted to Microsoft's "Designed for Windows" logo program. The onus is on Mozilla and Adobe to submit their software, not Microsoft to try to include everything. FireFox works perfectly in Vista, so does Acrobat Reader.

Is this really Microsoft's fault? Take a look at Photoshop's title bar next time you have it open. It uses the Basic scheme, although it doesn't drop the rest of the system down to Basic like some other programs Adobe Audition do.

It's not Microsoft's responsibility to make other people's software run on their OS. Obviously it's their responsibility to a fair market to not deliberately hinder other developers' software in favour of their own, and of course it is in Microsoft's best interests for the most part to make Windows as backwards compatible as possible there's no point having a decade of software compatability lock-in only to throw it away for nothing.

But of course a new OS will create compatability issues, and frankly many. Although I'm not quite as down on Adobe as you are, I agree that their quality has been on a steady downhill slide ever since the original guys sold out and the marketers took over.

Illustrator is the only program I've run into which can lock OS X up solid. So all those missing apps If not, then, uh, what the hell is the point of this article? If you look at the title of the page linked to, it clearly says 'Applications that have earned the "Certified for Windows Vista" logo or the "Works with Windows Vista" logo'. From further down: "The tables in the "More Information" section list the products that currently have earned the "Certified for Windows Vista" logo or the "Works with Windows Vista" logo.

Is that the point of this article? Or just more VistaFud TM. Why should I pay? I don't care if FireFox has Windows Logo certification. PetManimal must, since he went to the trouble to submit the article. Logo certification has no bearing at all on an application's ability to run under Vista, so personally I don't care if some app lacks it.

So hit PetManimal up for the money since he seems so distraught about it. Re: Score: 2 , Informative. Typical big business practice Score: 2. A lot of decision makers don't have any clue about what Vista is precisely and what it will do to their business.

They just get a visit from their Microsoft rep. If the program is not on the list, it's not 'approved by Microsoft' and thus it will not get used by the customer on that basis. I wish there were more smart people or people that know something about computers are in the places where those decisions get made in companies. We wouldn't have a Microsoft monopoly n. That's not surprising.

According to the design department over here, Adobe products aren't even made for the P How ironic then, that the Windows version of their software frequently has features the Mac version doesn't. Until recently, Premiere Pro was not available for Mac. Adobe Audition is not available on Mac. Adobe Flex is not available on Mac. Of course designers don't care about facts, they're creative people. How ironic then, that the Windows version of their software frequently has features the Mac version doesn't.

Dude, it was a joke Everyone knows PCs work great for design. Don't you dare clarify your post, and ruin my bad mood! Score: 5 , Interesting.

This is a non-story, sensational only in its attempt to stir up a hornet's nest. But this is Slashdot, so why am I surprised? There's no story here. There is some vague hint in the summary that Microsoft is purposefully not certifying software, but this is a vague and unsupported claim at best. The only real claim that can be made is that some software is not on the list There are dozens of reasons. The software could A not work with Vista, b not have been submitted for testing, C be in the process of going through the process What's the point?

As another poster said, if it doesn't work, don't use it. Another area in which Vista has found to be lackin Score: 2. Another area in which Vista has found to be lacking is gaming. Wait for SP1 Score: 5 , Insightful. Oh course Vista is a turd now, like every other Microsoft release. SP1 is supposed to come out a few months from now. Adobe never surprises Score: 2 , Interesting. They've footdragged so much on getting universal binary versions of their software to operate on Intel, that I'm not surprised in the least that they'd also foot-drag on Vista-savvy versions of their software.

It's probably just a marketing spa. Makes sense.. The real issue here is that you need an application signature. Score: 2 , Flamebait. The article would have us believe that Microsoft is using its monopoly position to do harm to its competitors but we all know that Microsoft is above that sort of thing. What would be interesting data, and which would address more clearly display the actual state of affairs, is how many of these 'uncertified' applications were actually submitted for certification, whether Microsoft or the 'independent lab' whoever actually receives the payment for certification testing has declined to accept any requests for certification, and which, if any, software that failed its first test has had to go through more than one retest after modification, and whether the testing report co.

Lacking in gaming Score: 5 , Funny. Another area in which Vista has found to be lacking is gaming Gotta say Leopard is looking better everyday. I guess I need to throw out all my games Grain of salt Score: 3 , Informative. I don't consider that a reliable list. Firefox works great on Vista. I don't know about any of the other products except Symantic, which doesn't really work on XP.

Microsoft's Authentic Software How is this Microsoft's fault? Score: 3 , Insightful. They put out the OS, it is up to the software vendors to make sure their software works with the OS. They knew it was coming and certainly had the time. Also, as others have pointed out, this is just a seal of approval program and doesn't mean the software won't run in vista. Firefox works great, Skype has a little trouble.

Here's my experience so far: Firefox works on the beta 2, on the RTM, and on the x64 versions of Vista. Skype doesn't seem to know what's Unicode on Vista x Actually, Skype 3. Skype 2. Why should they? Why should Microsoft 'offically' support a 3rd party application. Nevermind that OpenOffice isn't on the list Score: 3.

Not even Office or Office XP are on the list. It seems Microsoft has not even tested older versions of its own software. So much for that backwards compatibility on Windows that everyone talks about.

I'm just going along with the masses, since not many people commenting on this article care to recognize the difference! Answer by Zaka There is nothing else to inquire about.

Everyone has already given their opinions on a myriad of service providers, restaurants and locations. Now that mass of accumulated wealth is being compiled into an encyclopedia of taste preferences to be sold to the highest bidder. Answer by Atomicrayon These things just happen, you probably just got a corrupted file and it caused your data to be lost, there is no way to recover it. Answer by sanityrose The most common cause for a missing favorites list in Vista is registry cleaning software.

On August 12, she left Sonora without the car. The man later failed a polygraph, but no arrest was ever made.

He was really weird. Tracy drove 21 hours from her home in North Dakota to Midland, Texas, where the person of interest now lives. When I had some questions that needed answers. How are you? But she extracted no new or potentially incriminating information from him. Her family maintains that Nita was scared of heights and so wouldn't have likely ventured to a precarious point for photographs. I crawled on my hands and knees around that place for weeks and found not one scrap of evidence.

I know that place better than most locals. I scoured it for months. She was declared legally dead in A bench was installed at the Vista dedicated to Nita, located in the rock overlooking the vista point, which took over two years of work and organization to have installed.

There is, additionally, a dedication plaque for her outside the Strawberry Store, which she visited on the way to Donnell Vista. She was last seen in Twain Harte on April 18, On April 20, she sent a mailed letter to some friends saying she was going to go to Kennedy Meadows to "put her feet in the water. Tolhurst's purse and other belongings were inside it. Her loved ones stated she was having financial problems and may have been distraught over them at the time of her disappearance.
