+Microsoft has put together an handy guide to programs that work with Windows Vista. If you're thinking about upgrading it's worth your time to check out what works and what doesn't. 
+
+Microsoft has broken the categories of apps in to two different ratings, software that is "Certified for Windows Vista" and software that "Works with Windows Vista." Microsoft says that the Certified label means that the technical requirements have been met in "four core areas: reliability, security, compatibility with Windows Vista and future operating systems, and installation and removal."
+
+According the Microsoft docs the "Works with Vista" category is intended for software which has been tested to "make sure that the applications meet the program's guidelines." 
+
+I think that means the Certified apps have been more thoroughly tested.
+
+If you'd like to check specific apps there's also a link on the page to the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.0, which will help you test your applications against Vista's requirements.
+
+The lists themselves are quite interesting, for instance I noticed a total absence of Adobe apps on either list, but some other big names qualify as "Works with Vista," including AutoCAD, Quickbooks and Corel Painter.
+
+Microsoft cautions that the guide isn't 100 percent comprehensive yet, but it will updated frequently.
