Upgraded from XP to Vista Ultimate.
My system (ok needs updating a bit)
XP3000, 1 gig of Ram, 40 G HD, AK39 Shuttle MB.
Found all hardware OK, EXCEPT
Creative Live 5.1 soundcard (expected as Creative don't support anymore)
Mustek USB1200 scanner, no vista drivers on mustek's site.
Install.
Wiped drive, installed XP and SP2 (min for upgrade).
Opted for clean install, system backed up old XP system to windows.old (I deleted this folder afterwards).
Tried installing McAfee 2007, it crashed the system on rebooting.
No alternative but to start again and format as it went into 'constant reboot' mode.
Opted to try Kaspersky for a months free trial, seems to be working fine so far (One week in) so will probably opt for that.
It looks good (visually!), a few of my 'toys' don't want to play :- Adaware, Easy Cleaner, Spybot.
Installed software (ALL WORKING - so far!)
Updated drivers for ATI 9500 card
Office 2003
Kaspersky Internet Security Suite
Roxio 9
XoftSpy
Window Washer
Can't remember all the others, but the only ones I have had problems with are listed above.
Did note that I did not need to install any software for wireless keyboard and mouse (Logitech) good job as there aren't any drivers on their site.
