5. Want to know why these AV programs won't work on Vista?
Or are you just interested in snarkery? Vista has lots of problems, but this particular feature that is enhanced in SP1 is all good. AV software products that intrusively hook and patch the kernel rather than using the defined interfaces for these sort of products are a major source of system instability. Well behaved AV products continue to run just fine on Vista. The AV programs that won't run on Vista SP1 are the ones that shouldn't run on any system.
