These work as well:

ATI Catalyst Preview Driver
Real Alternative
Quicktime
WinRar
Adobe Reader
Adobe Flash Player
Spybot Search and Destroy
AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition
MSN Live Messenger (Not sure if the Beta is working or not)


*I should point out that I picked up Crysis Warhead last night and installed it both on Windows Vista HP 64 Bit AND Windows 7 Build 6801 and it works flawlessly on Vista HP 64 Bit but crashes in random parts on Windows 7 Build 6801 (seems to happen most often during auto saves for some weird reason...*

Working Games:

Unreal Tournament 3
Counterstrike 1 and Source
Half Life 2
Half Life 2 Episode 1 & 2

I just had to comment on the fact that it's f*cking awesome to see so many working apps/games this early on!!! Especially in comparison to how many "working" apps/games there were when Vista was at this stage of the game...

KMPlayer, CCCP and CoreAVC work great. In fact, my H.264 MKV videos play faster and cleaner in 7 than they ever did in XP

Media Monkey works, as does CD Art Display.
