December 2007 Windows Vista Application Compatibility Update

INTRODUCTION
The December 2007 Windows Vista Application Compatibility Update is a package of software updates that address common application compatibility issues in Windows Vista. When you try to install and to run certain legacy games or applications in Windows Vista, you may experience one or more of the following symptoms: • The game, the application, or the firmware may not be installed correctly.
• The game, the application, or the firmware may cause system instability.
• The primary functions of the game, the application, or the firmware may not work correctly.
This update is cumulative, and it supersedes update 935280. In addition to the fixes that are contained in update 935280, this update improves application compatibility in Windows Vista by implementing a block on the application, by providing a notification that the application is not Windows Vista-compatible, or by providing an update to improve functionality for the following applications:• Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 - 7.07
• WinAntivirus Pro 2007 v5.0.356
• Webroot Software Spy Sweeper 5.0
• Omniquad Total Security 2.0.3.0
• Windows Internet Explorer 7

I threw out the map a long time ago. Now I go my own direction!

Emphasis added

The Compatibility Update is being misinterpreted. The update does not make Vista compatible with WinAntivirus Pro 2007 v5.0.356.

Look at the bold text in the above quote.
