As far as I am aware there is just the System Requirements sections on the product pages at the moment, i.e. WindowBlinds 

Regarding Vista compatibility (though it's more of a guide detailing ballpark project deadlines), Zoomba created this chart:

well, everything listed there has really passed the dates specified, lots of beta's for summer 07, and nothing yet. but that still doesn't solve my problem

i really want to goto vista 64bit, many stardock apps won't run on there, which is odd to me. windowsblinds i was told it would work with 64bit when version 6 was released, but still no 64bit support. is stardock taking cue's from sony? lol

anyways, it would be nice to know this stuff, as 64bit is gaining ground, and most apps run under a 64bit OS without problem, just not stardock apps

ok, see, i need my desktop skinned so bad, i won't use vista 64bit, even though it would increase my productivity at the office lol

thats why i was asking if there was a list somewhere, and i'm not against using beta, i always install the betas. is there any way i can get a list, or how can i tell what has an available 64bit version?

Official notes don't get released until the full package does. Then the description on the website gets updated along with the Stardock Central ones.

I can confirm for you what Astyanax0 said. I have 64bit Vista running skinned and with icons under the current beta of both programs.

Sound Packager works, SKS6 beta works, DeskScapes and TweakVista. There are a few others that work. Not all are native 64bit (some in 32bit mode, like SKS6 for example).

32 bit mode is fine, as long as they run i don't care. but i remember wb6 wouldn't run at all in vista x64 at the start. so thats what i'm trying to avoid.

Soon Window FX and the new CursorFX will be available. Cursor should work fine, WindowFX is still in the air.
