    At least they had enough sense to not allow Windows updater to suggest it to you if you had incompatible drivers, although you can still do it manually.

    I haven't been offered it by windows updater yet but I'll wait for it.

    EDIT: I do not use any of those programs so it doesn't bother me.

        At least they let us know. They could have waited until release for us to find out.

          And if you take the time to actually read the list, most of those programs have already been updated to work with SP1.

          Then again it makes it more sensational to just announce that they don't work.

              Thanks for the head-up scinto. I'm riding with ZoneAlarm free firewall, and although it's not directly in the list it's implied strongly, and therefore I can take a look at that as a first thing when installing SP1.

                      Sygate hasn't been updated for over a year now. It was bought out by Symantec and all support ended then.

                      Try going to the Sygate homepage :p

                          Yep. Too bad they never made a 64 bit version before being bought out by Symantec. Even without updates it is still one of the best.

                          Very easily if you know where to look, I have had it since Feb 4. Just Google it.
