Vista Compatibility Center Finally Compatible with the Internet

As Microsoft continues to have to "prove" to people that Vista is compatible with their hardware and software, the Windows Vista Compatibility Center launched on Tuesday, as announced at Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference in Houston.

Of course, it proved incompatible with the Web, as visiting the site got you a "The Windows Vista Compatibility Center will be launching soon, please check back!" message.

The site lists list about 9,000 products (3,500 apps and 5,500 devices). Plug in a query into their search box, and assuming it's listed, you can find out if it's compatible or not.

If you can't find a product on their site, and you know it's compatible, you can suggest they add it. In addition, there are a lot of informational links, ways to search for drivers, etc. etc. Will it improve Vista adoption rates? Probably not.

We now return you to your iPhone station (based on the number of stories being posted since Friday).
