Is your software/hardware on these lists?

http://www.iexbeta.com/wiki/index.php/Windows_Vista_RC_2_Hardware_Compatibility_List

It should be noted that these lists are for RC2 and not the final RTM
version. Nor are they by any means fully comprehensive!

Both Borland's C++ Builder and BDS 2006 are listed as: "Has problems, but
they can be solved."

IIRC Allen Bauer recently reported that for BDS 2006, Microsoft's Vista
Comapatibility Team had fixed it's install failure problem with build 5841
so it should install on Vista RTM after one installs the .NET 1.1 runtime
along with the J# runtime.

Not listed is the 128MB ATI Radeon 9550 video card I stuck in the AGP-4x
slot in the 4 yr old machine I use for testing Vista as a dual boot with XP
In both RC2 and build 5840 it was disable as Aero capable but could be
turned on with a registry modification, however it's turned on in the RTM
version. That machine also has a LinkSys NC-100 Ethernet card and a Supra
56K modem both of which I manually install using their old Win2000 drivers.
Once on line, the NC-100 driver gets updated automatically. So all devices
are working.
