It entirely depends on your software! Some software will work with Vista, while other will not. It is a crap shoot, but there are many, many problems with Vista that are even worse than you can imagine. I still have a printer that wont work with Vista. It will probably take two or more years to fix all the problem with software/hardware/firmware/drivers... compatibility with Vista, and some of those issues will never be fixed. Some programs won't work anymore with Vista. But Microsoft thinks that that's not they're problem, since they're not the retailer of those programs. So you'll have to contact the manufacturer of the program(s) that don't work on Vista to see if and when they're programs will work on Vista.
After you've done that, you can check your savings account, since hardly any of these manufacturers will provide a free update to a Vista compatible version...the whole idea behind vista is to make people update both hardware and software but they still left compatibility mode there so you can run older software.@
