-Windowblinds

-Skinstudio
-Multiplicity (Thinkdesk)
-DesktopX V3.0

It's been said before in the forums that no Stardock apps are certified for Vista betas.

Try them all and report back.

Multiplicity should work fine as we use it in Vista testing.

In general using the 64 bit version of Vista will result in worse app compatibility than 32 bit Vista.

DesktopX should work as well. It is mentioned in the release notes that Vista compatibility has been included...

ObjectDock+ runs on my RC system. But as noted by oneone else on this forum, there is an oddity when it runs that make an small area to the top left corner of the screen unresponsive.

64-bit Vista is currently IMO a disaster from a compatibility point of view with software in general.

I don't think CursorXP will work on X64 yet.

I'm running a beta of Multiplicity on Vista 32-bit and it runs like a champ.
