I have never really moved from INI files to be honest so our app. running on Vista was pretty straight forward EXCEPT that it didnt like running under the "c:\program files\" folder for some reason. I didnt ever try to find out I must admit, but other than that the conversion was fine.
On that not, anyone tried Windows 7 yet? I am liking it so far.
