Adobe will not make current software Vista compatible
Another reminder that changing over to Vista could cost more than you think is Adobe’s announcement that many of its current product versions will not be updated to run on Vista. It turns out that a lot of the major Adobe programs don’t run properly on Vista and users are going to have to buy new versions. Since Adobe is a big player in the software world, this may impact quite a few people. InformationWeek says:
Users of Adobe Systems’ digital publishing products, including Photoshop, InDesign, and Dreamweaver, will have to shell out for new versions of the software if they want to run them without glitches on Microsoft’s new Windows Vista operating system, Adobe says.
According to a statement posted on Adobe’s Web site, the company “does not plan to issue updates to current versions of those products for Windows Vista compatibility.”
That means users will have to pay hundreds of dollars to upgrade their Adobe software if they want trouble-free performance on Windows Vista, which is now preinstalled in virtually all new PCs shipping in the United States. That’s because the current versions of most of Adobe’s major products won’t work properly on the new operating system.
