I hope Call of Duty 4 isn't on the list eventually.  lol I'll be like a person on Crack without it. Quote - Microsoft: Vista SP1 will break these programsBy Suzanne Tindal Special to CNET News.com Published: February 21, 2008, 6:19 AM PST Microsoft has published a list of programs that will not work or that will suffer from reduced functionality after the installation of Vista Service Pack 1. The list of programs consists mostly of security applications, such as Trend Micro Internet Security 2008. However, programs such as The New York Times Reader application also feature on the list. Users are advised to install updates from the application vendor to fix the problem. "Windows Vista Service Pack 1 contains many security, reliability, and feature updates for Windows Vista," the company said. "A program may experience a loss of functionality after you install Windows Vista SP1. However, most programs will continue to work as expected after you install Windows Vista SP1."

Well, as was posted earlier, they will indeed break unless you update them as described on the KB article.

Don't get all your panties wadded up, thats probably the extent of the list... so get over it.
And no, COD4 doesn't break with SP1....
Theres a total of what.. 10 apps on that list, and they all interface into the OS through the security center or GUI in some way, thats probably why they break.
Download update to app, nothing to see here.

If you look at the actual KB article there are only 12 programs on this list, and they all have updates to fix the incompatibility.

Not much of a problem. I don't use any of these apps, but for people that do, staying up-to-date will solve the problem.

so what's the big fuss? Some poorly-written software broke. Those guys will just rewrite their software and that would be the end of it.

The whole reason Microsoft sat on SP1 was so developers would make sure it worked. Sorry, but no sympathy from me for anyone who whines about Microsoft for this.

Yea, all of the listed programs already have a ifx out (A supported version is now available under "More information") except for three of them.
