List of compatible software...

[Spawn]

Hey, BV.  Would it be possible to sticky this thread?     Everybody can post their non-gaming software experiences, and then have one thread to see the culmination.

I can report that Photoshop CS4 works wonderfully as well as CCleaner, Picasa, WinRAR, and iTunes64bit.

I really think that atleast 95% or more of the programs that work with Vista today will work without issue in 7. Where people will run into problems will be with drivers or other software that installs a driver to run or relies on system drivers such as antivirus solutions and games.

Here's a partial list of programs I've been using that work just fine:
 
Alzip
Everest

Winamp
VLC Media Player

WinRAR causes a Glitch in the Operating System of Win 7 x86 and x64.

The bug is;
In the "Options" in the menu bar, "Settings" link > "Integration" tab > "Shell Integration" box > check the box "Cascade context menus" then it will cause a Desktop Manager Error;
"The Desktop Window Manager has encountered a fatal error (0x803e0002)" "Event ID" #9020
