Windows 7 to Run Everything?

Microsoft has announced something interesting regarding programs and Windows 7. While everyone has assumed that anything that will run on Vista will run on Windows 7, the opposite may not be true. According to a blog, Microsoft is planning to make Windows 7 compatible with some programs that would not work with Vista. So far, Microsoft has made Windows 7 run about 30 different international applications that Vista would not. These include the German version of QuickTime and a Spanish program from IKEA. So far, no English-language programs have been announced as being saved by Windows 7, but a list of them will most likely be announced before Windows 7 goes live.
