Skype unsupported by Windows Vista
-
-
Microsoft has released a list of 800 applications the company says are Windows Vista-certified. Eight hundreds and that’s all, even though Microsoft and analysts said that the majority of XP software can run on Vista, ComputerWorld reports.
But you won’t find all your favorite and efficient software, like the Firefox web browser, OpenOffice suite or the vast majority of VoIP client like Skype (that hit the 500 million downloads), Gizmo Project or Google Talk. We can understand open source softwares don’t need this agreement, but why Skype?
Because the certification is a lucrative business, and Microsoft could ask up to $10,000 to certify a software, says the magazine. Hopefully, those softwares have released a special version optimized for the new Windows operating system. Watch carefully before choosing your version, or you’ll get unexpected bugs.
