Microsoft lists Vista-certified apps

ENT News | at | by Mike

Three weeks after the launch of Windows Vista, Microsoft has updated the list of applications that have passed its "Certified for Windows Vista" logo program testing requirements.

Given how long Vista was in beta test, the list is not comprehensive -- only 104 total. Not too surprisingly, 24 of those are Microsoft's applications, including a one-by-one listing of the individual applications in Office 2007 as well as the individual editions of Office 2007.

On that list are products from Corel and Attachmate, as well as Nero. But most of the companies are relative unknowns in the Windows app arena. The list is also very shy of business applications, much less security or anti-virus software products.
