Winzip works fine, as do almost all XP/2000 applications. Once in a blue moon you may have to right click on the installer and modify it so as to run as an Administrator, but otherwise it should work fine. A year+ into daily Vista use and I rarely encounter previous-gen software that doesn't work fine. As far as free utilities and that sort of thing goes, drop by Sourceforge once in a while, their Vista-friendly software libraries are coming along nicely.

I suppose I ought to test WinZip Pro v-11.0 on it <g>. I have one Dual Boot Win2k Pro/Vista Ultimate PC, and rarely boot into Vista. I have pretty good control so far over what OS is installed on the machines I use for my data processing, but that will slowly come to and end. I think WinZip is the only hting I have not tested in Vista yet.
