Brendan, My own experience is that applications written by Delphi 5 work "satisfactorily" on Vista. At the moment, I have no intention of moving my production environment to Vista, so I use a VMware virtual machine for testing. It's not ideal, nor even particularly convenient, but "good enough" for now. I did also buy Delphi 2007 (my first upgrade since Delphi 5), and would expect to gradually migrate over the coming years, with the hope that Delphi 2007 will work correctly on Vista when I need it.
