Hhm, I somewhat fail to see your point.
However, I strongly dislike the point that such a list of 'incompatibilities' surfaces at the day when the OS should be ready for prime-time.
Got a tip for us?

The masses don't get a check to check for bugs. You have to pay up for Apple Developer vs. a free for all of reporting over on the Microsoft side.
I've been in the Beta and RC for 7. I'm also now in the Beta for Office 2010 for Home & Student.
I know Adobe won't support CS3 but I'm sayin' I hope it will work
It is for most people who have tried it. Check out the thread about Adobe support from a few days ago.
not that shocking. some folks don't run software update regularly. putting down those apps, which would have avail updates now or probably tomorrow/this weekend, is a way to knock folks in the head and get them to do the updates
I was wondering the same thing.
seems to me that any major company, say Adobe, would consider the cost nothing compared to potential lost sales and a lot of customer service issues.
they did. several of them, but there's no way they can hit every single possible configuration of hardware and software. so they have little choice but clean up as much as they can and see what problems come up in that first release.
Well, companies are not keen on supporting legacy stuff. They rather press their new program versions on you.
That's why it sometimes needs a little pressure from the existing user base to continue supporting their stuff.
Agreed, but then again outsourcing this sort of tests to the free and willing user-base might provide some benefits before the product hits the shelf.
..and spare you some bad press afterwards.
CS3 works just fine for me (PS, InD, Il, Acrobat).
I didn't have any incompatibility issues and I have a pretty large list of apps installed on my machine.
All and all, SL upgrade was super easy and not a single hitch.

I agree...
Nowhere near enough info for me to upgrade right now...
I MUST have following software working immediately due to job deadlines and having no concrete information what works and what not means I am passing SL until all facts and figures regarding compatibility are made public.
Here is my list of question marks:
1. Logic Pro 8
2. Reason 4
3. Guitar Rig 3
4. Picturesque
5. Lightroom 2
6. Flash CS 3
7. RapidWeaver
8. Swift 3D
9. Kinemac
10. Unity
11. Unity iPhone
12. Invoice 2 or 3
There is more... But if above list of software works fine with SL I am ready to compromise on the rest
Shouldn't you not upgrade a production system anyway?I agree...

Wait until your deadlines pass at the very minimum, or grab a 2nd HD and test a clone with SL.(Yes, I understand that not everyone has money for it, but if your data is that valuable, you would ...)
Does anyone know if MacPaint works?
Seriously, though, the posts about audio apps reminded me that I also have Logic Studio 8 and Omnisphere - which I don't get to use often these days, but would be a big thing if they didn't work when I do!
For that matter - what about drivers for my 1st gen MOTU 828?
Can't seem to find info on any of these. Will have to proceed with caution.

I think this is very lame and unlike Apple, to release an OS upgrade that makes so many programs incompatible. What the h*ll were they thinking? And there's no mention of this in their oh-so-glorious description of how wonderful their new OS is. And considering that this is mostly "under the hood" upgrades and they make a clear statement by making it available for $29, I think it's even more embarrassing that Apple, who are attacking Windows at each opportunity they get, do something like this. Microsoft(except for Vista maybe) never created this many incompatibility issues in a new iteration of their OS.
I ordered Snow Leopard and am gonna install it right away, because I read that Logic 9 will work perfectly normal on it (I gotta make sure my sound card + DSP card works too, though...), but if I was a user of those fairly new programs that now stops working I would be a bit pissed that Apple didn't warn me in any way.

It's not Apple's fault developers didn't get their programs working on SL. And I don't think it's too bad, I haven't had one problem with any programs.
