近日我们在IEbeta网站看到一份Vista对各种常用软件、游戏的兼容性列表，从中可以看出大部分我们熟悉的软件，都榜上有名，不过这份始终是国外玩家测试的列表，所以对中文软件方面没有进行测试。
大家如果感兴趣的话，可以组织一些同好，一起装上Vista然后对中文软件进行一番测试，以下为编辑摘录的软件兼容性列表，想看完全版本的朋友，请[点击这里]进入。
完全兼容的软件
* MathWorks MatLab 2006a (32-bit)
反间谍软件
* Ad Muncher v4.7 Beta (32 Bit)
* Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Personal v1.06r1 (32 Bit)
* Rogers Yahoo! Antispy (32 Bit)
* Spybot S&D v1.2 (32 Bit)
* Spybot S&D v1.4 (32 Bit)
* Spyware Doctor v3.2 (32 Bit)
* SpywareBlaster 3.4 (32 Bit)
* 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!]
* Avast v4.7.827 Home Edition (32 Bit)
* AVG Professional Edition 7.1.384 (32 Bit)
* ClamWin v0.87.1 (32 Bit and 64 Bit)
* Command Antivirus v4.92.91 (32 Bit)
* 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)

* UltraISO v7.6.5.1269 (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

* 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？

有一定问题，但可以修正的软件：
杀毒软件

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

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!]

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。

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。
