Let me see where I had issues with vista...

Wacom tablets, 1.5 years old, not compatible with vista

Novell client (could be better now) although it worked, not with out its caveats.

Several printers don't work w/ 64bit that we had at my work

several needed applications won't work unless you upgrade, cost of upgrading was thousands and thousands in licenses. Not worth upgrading at this point.

networking - tons of issues

and of course the giant increase of hardware resources used.

Vista does not out perform XP though, and even if you dig through benchmarks you will find them neck and neck or XP beating vista. It just gives you the illusion by preloading applications into memory. Loading time may be a bit faster but actual performance while using an application is identical. Which is why its not worth the several hundred dollars to upgrade IMO.
