The surer and more stable method for manipulating complex expressions is
always ComplexExpand.
Conjugate[a b];
ComplexExpand[%, {b}, TargetFunctions -> {Conjugate}]
a Conjugate[b]
or
Conjugate[a b];
Simplify[%, a \[Element] Reals]
a Conjugate[b]

From: slawek [mailto:a at b.c]
In[1] := Im[a] ^= 0; Conjugate[a b]
Out[1] := Conjugate[a b]
It is not funny, Mathematica 6 properly evaluates the result
a Conjugate[b]
What happens?
