R works on Vista provided you have learned enough about Vista to get around the enhanced security model.
Microsoft One Care software and the overall better security of Vista is, in my opinion, much superior to Norton/Symantec/XP. Many people use Skype these days and Skype is not officially supported on Vista so if you want to use that it may or may not work. My Vista system crashed shortly after I tried Skype and reverted back to a prior checkpoint at which point I lost several programs I had installed including Skype although I did not lose any files that I had created myself. It may have been a driver issue and not Skype, per se, though the fact that Skype is not officially supported makes Skype a prime suspect. My Vista system had never crashed before that nor has it crashed since then. If you search the net you see some people having problems with Skype on Vista whereas others say they have run it daily with no problem. There are significant changes in Microsoft Office 2007 including new XML based file formats rather than the old formats (although you can read and write the old formats too), substantial changes in Office user interfaces and a focus on .Net in place of COM although COM is still supported enough in Office 2007 to run old software. R packages supporting .Net, similar to the R packages rcom and RDCOMClient for COM, would be nice to properly support Vista but I don't think such R packages exist yet. Other than the lack of Skype support I do like Vista and have been able to get rid of numerous small utilities that I used under XP since Vista has many of these facilities built in.
