So I return with another Software Compatibility list! This time for Windows 7 Build 6801. Pretty much everyone who knows about Windows 7 has this build so I thought I would do a run through of the software I personally use on a day to day basis and of course other popular software. I will break the list down into the following categories;
Security Software
Utility Software
Web and Communication Software
Office Software
Design Software
Sound & Video Capturing/Editing Software
I will also do lists for what works and what doesn't and do two separate lists for the 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
As always this list will be updated regularly and feedback on your experiences with certain applications count and will be added to the list. (IMG:style_emoticons/veeto/wink.png)
