Bitcomet, the latest one, works great, but the earlier versions are incompatible with vista, due to connection problems, as far as i can tell. i did have a small problem with age of empires three crashing, it is a bit unstable with vista, something that never happened when this rig flew the xp flag.

AIM - Works fine but the aim theme from latest version is buggy on aero
Everquest - Has to be in compatibility mode for XP otherwise fine
Tor/Vidalia/Privoxy - Works flawlessly
Steam - Works flawlessly
mIRC - Works flawlessly
irssi - Works flawlessly
iTunes - Works flawlessly
ActivePerl 5.6 - Works flawlessly

Just a short list of programs I am running on Vista that aren't listed yet. I didn't check to see if any of these say they are compatible with Vista on their websites so sorry if it does.
The issue with aim is the only thing that bugs me, anyone else getting a buggy skin for the newest version of aim in aero?

These programs work on my Vista Basic 32bit PC:

1.)(the programs I noted before)
2.) Photoshop CS2 (installed, worked great, only installed to test compatibility)
3.) DivX Player, Divx Codec and DivX Web Player(not Vista compatible, you'll need to setup the install file to compatibility XP SP2, once installed setup program compatibilty to XP SP2 - works flawlessly if you set it up this way)
4.) WD Lifeguard Tools + Utilities (works flawlessly)
5.) The Sims Double Deluxe + House Party + Unleashed (all work flawlessly, do NOT install the Double Deluxe bonus disc, it corrupts the install of all The Sims installs, including Double Deluxe)
