ebay Uk toolbar does work.... well it working on my IE8 no problems. And you shouldnt expect everything to work straight away. It aint really microsoft problem to make sure these work with windows 7. It the software makers problem.

Age of Empires 2 The Conquerors - Loads up fine, but the colours are distorted. Tried all the known solutions without any luck, but it was fine on Vista.

"I thought MS would have learnt there lesson after Vista"

big - what's the lesson ... tellme, tellme, tellme, go-on ... tellme.

I know some people think microsoft should rewrite everyone in the whole world's software for the last twenty years - so it works with their O/s ... couldn't be that though ... that wouldn't make sense.... so what's the lesson?

Before the final release they should have spoken to all the top software venders like Adobe and said "have you created a patch for your software yet". I`m starting to become as dissapointed with 7 as people were with Vista! Why dont MS start from scratch and design a brand new OS? All 7 is is Vista in a frock and xp in a mini skirt. For some software not to be compatible is just plain ignorent!

iPhotoplus 4 (Ulead) - Gimp 2.66 works as an alternative
Print CD 1.6 (Epson) - Epson have released Print CD v2.0 which works
Easus Partition Manager v 4.0

These are with the 64 bit version - Easus & iphotoplus both required 32bit OS.
