I’m currently upgrading to windows vista. All those doing the same or considering it may have run into multiple conflicts (as I have) with software not wanting to be installed, complaining or just simply not installing at all. This handy list from ieXbeta’s Wiki is very useful. It sorts most software products made for the windows platform in to 3 categories;

1 - Works
2 - Has problems, but they can be solved / minor unsolved
3 - Heavy Problems, currently

It is updated continuously (the wonders of a wiki) and is quite comprehensive, I hope it is of some use to you.
