KB935796 Vista SP1 and Things That You Should Expect To Stop Working And 1 I Would Have Never Guessed
KB935796 titled "Information about programs that are known to experience a loss of functionality when they run on a Windows Vista Service Pack 1-based computer". I took a look because I run AVG anti-virus and wanted to make sure I wasn't on the list of applications I'd likely need to upgrade. I was pretty certain I was fine as I had just received a virus signature update only moments before. I was right- I'm all good. But I was surprised to see the NYT Reader on the list. You know the much ballyhooed piece of software that allowed for reading the New York Times in a digital format both on-line and off-line (for Windows OS). You know the piece of software that was specifically created with Vista in mind and makes use of WPF and soon enough for others via Silverlight. Apparently the V 1 will suffer under Vista SP1 with the following ailment. New York Times Reader stops working when the right mouse button pressed. But there is a newer version than V1 out there just go to the NYT Reader web site and grab it.
In all fairness. It might not be surprising to see this on the list. Since I don't use the software I don't know how it works in terms of updating itself and I do know from a New York Times Reader advisory that the software is on version 1.1.3.0 and that since November with the release of .NET 3.5 there has been an update that was needed to play well with .NET 3.5.
