I ran the upgrade adviser and it shows only 15 of my applications won't
work with Vista -- better than I had expected. There were no device
problems except for Bluetooth which won't work with Vista.

I use a LOT of software and have had almost no trouble. A couple of things
had to run in XP compatibility mode and a couple more needed updates (which
were free in the specific cases I ran into). I had only one app that
wouldn't work at all and was not going to be updated (a system registry
monitor--geeky stuff) but it was easily replaced by another free program.

MS has a free "Upgrade Advisor" that will identify problem software on your
system:
