image Commentaries: Vista Patch, Is NOT Meant To Enhance The Compatibility Of A Rogue ! image
Microsoft
happyandyk writes "I have seen some talk, about how a Windows Vista Update/Patch KB943302, supposedly enhances the Program Compatibility for WinAntivirus Pro 2007 v5.0.356, a program considered as a Rogue !

The Windows Vista Application Compatibility Update, being referred to may a little old, being dated Dec 2007, but it just appears to have been updated or reviewed on January 11th 2008.

This update is a package that addresses common application compatibility issues in Windows Vista.
The programs being mentioned are:
Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 - 7.07
WinAntivirus Pro 2007 v5.0.356
Webroot Software Spy Sweeper 5.0
Omniquad Total Security 2.0.3.0
Windows Internet Explorer 7

However people seemed to have missed the point.
The Article mentions that :...this update improves application compatibility in Windows Vista by implementing a block on the application, by providing a notification that the application is not Windows Vista-compatible, or by providing an update to improve functionality...

So in effect while the update will improve compatibility for legit programs it is planned to block some !

Windows has the Error Reporting Service option available which will report crashes to Microsoft..

Perhaps the wide abundance of WinAntivirus Pro 2007 crashes, has prompted Microsoft to do something? Who knows....lol.
