Will All Programs Run On Vista?

Will everything I now have that will run on Windows XP also run on Vista?

Run the Vista Upgrade Advisor..

Then check out software author websites for upgrades, patches etc..

Depends, most modern applications will work just fine on Windows Vista. But
there are a few things to take into consideration. 32 bit applications with
16 bit installers do not work on Vista x64 if you decide to go that path.
Overall, its best you contact the software developer or check the website to
find out about Vista compatibility, patches, updates or new releases.

There are work arounds for incompatible applications such as running in a
compatible version of Windows in Virtual PC 2007.

JBN and Quicksilver.Remailer software will not work on Vista. I had to
find out the hard way.
JBN and Quicksilver will run on XP.

I said 'most' not 'all'

Wrong answer little-john boy. Correct answer is "maybe'...and what
programs are you specifically referring to?
Live and learn right?
