Will Vista run DOS Programs?
Any road up, I'm now down to a few Delphi programs which crash on exit under Vista, but run quite happily under XP. I think this may come down to me having to "upgrade" my dev machine to Vista to run those apps under the debugger, which is something I _really_, _really_ DON'T want to have to do, primarily because I

Windows Vista SP1 Renders Some More Hardware Obsolete
I don't have an answer for you, but FWIW I have a small app that I just tested under a fresh install of Vista Home Basic.

debugging app crashes under Vista
Otherwise Microsoft wouldn't patch VS6 to run under Vista (they didn't even do this for VS2003!) and they wouldn't have built the compatibility layer that lets VB6 developers use WinForms. Of course, someone at Microsoft may just have a warped sense of humour and are adding insult to injury. Too late.

Force VB App to run as administrator in Vista

Apart from the apalling driver situation, there are real issues with the apps. 64bit apps run marginally faster than their 32bit counterparts (when meaning that the OS *and* the apps where better matched to the 64bit environment) It is too bad though that 32bit apps under windows suffer in *any* case,
