Windows 7 Incompatibility List

Windows 7s have been publicly released for a few months, but there are still a lot of incompatible issues with less-than-2-year-old hardware. Is there an "Incompatibility List" available? I think it is more meaningful than "Compatibility List ".

e.g Creative Keyboard CF0400 - incompatible
Intel DP35DP mother board - incompatible
Adobe Master Collection CS3 - incompatible

Moreover, is there a poll of statistics asking for Windows 7 Upgrade successful ratios? E.g. I have upgraded 5 desktops and 3 notebooks (including 2 under the Windows 7 Upgrade Program), but NONE of them FULLY compatible with Windows 7, though ALL of them 100% passed Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. So, my success rates are:

100% Compatible = 0%
80% Compatible = 12.5%
20-80% Compatible = 50.00%
0% compatible = 37.5% (i.e. not working after upgrade, need to roll-back to Windows XP Professional)

 

Microsoft may have a lot of sales talk about how compatible their new Windows 7 with existing hardward and software. E.g. The Creative keyboard is working as a QWERTY keyboard under Windows 7, but none of the bundled applications (including the major function as a MIDI keyboard) work with Windows 7. In this context, I believe an INCOMPATIBLE LIST of HARDWARE and SOFTWARE contributed from those who already ran the Compatibility Program that looked fine, but ACTUALLY NOT WORKING At all or in the same way as XP/VISTA.

 

I agree that one cannot expect MS to maintain such a list. But it was MS to pursuade people the new OS's compatibility of existing software from XP and Vista. It was MS to arouse such expectation. It was MS' Upgrade Advisor confirmed the compatibility and in fact incompatible.

An impartial list of incompatible hardware (and software include application and driver) from the community can unveal the facts behind the ads! And it also gives MS a feedback of the needs from the market.

The keyboard (Creative Podikeys) has not new version, and it's a niche market. In this niche market, it's almost 100%. I tried to find another one but couldn't. Many kids, and some schools have their computer lab dependent on this keyboard as an introduction of music to them. A seperate MIDI keyboard is overwhelming. Anyway, this is only a handy example. In fact, the reality is: The schools and kids I knew using the Creative Podikey keyboard have all turned their face to Apple in their labs and classroom. (MS is still ignoring the input side of it's narrow definition of multimedia.)

Well, back to it: The Incompatibility List can proudly tell people that Windows 7 is not Vista II, if it's not!

(From XP, or Vista, I can load up and run a map application in 10 seconds, but in Windows 7 XP Mode, I need 1 minutes to load up the XP Mode, and 30 seconds to load the map application; or 3 minutes to load up the map application directly from as an Vitual Windows XP application.) This I can tolerate; Incompatible, I cannot.
