| Thawte Personal Email Certificates |
New requests or downloads of Thawte Personal Email Certificates do
not process correctly in Vista.

Vendors worked on this compatibility issue but had no time estimate
for a fix. Previously downloaded or exported certificates (e.g.,
*.pfx files) work properly with Vista and Outlook 2007. |

| Symantec AntiVirus CE 10.1.5.5000 or earlier

If you perform an upgrade install of Vista with Symantec AntiVirus
Corporate Edition 10.1.5.5000 or earlier installed, the antivirus
client will stop functioning, and you will be unable to reinstall it
or install another client.

of the antivirus client; see In Windows, how do I safely upgrade to the latest Symantec Endpoint or AntiVirus software?

| Symantec AntiVirus CE and EFS
|
When using Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 10.2.0.276 on
Windows Vista with files encrypted with Encrypting File System (EFS),
Symantec autoprotect corrupts the EFS-protected files.

| VPN/L2TP and PPTP
|
If you switch a network connection from one network adapter to
another (e.g., from wired to wireless) and then dial a VPN
connection to a remote VPN server, you'll be able to establish the
connection to the remote VPN server, but you won't be able to access
any network resources while connected to it.
