Hey CC, it's great to see ya! :)
In addition to all that's already been said, apps that won't work come down
to anything that includes any amount of 16-bit (or earlier) code. Of
course, that means any 16-bit apps, but it also includes any 32-bit apps
that have the unfortunate luck to be tied to a 16-bit installer. There are
numerous examples of this, but most apps have already been updated with full
32-bit installers that will work just fine under Vista 64.
The good part is that Vista will balk if you try to install one of these
16-bit apps or a 32 that uses a 16-bit installer. You'll be able to
gracefully back out without hurting the OS at all. That will give you the
opportunity to go hunting for a replacement that may turn out to be better
than whatever app you had been using up to that point. If you've been
lurking all this time, you may have seen a very recent post from me
mentioning that there are now tons of freeware and open source apps
available these days. A little Google goes a long ways these days. lol
Peace,
Gman
