I'm running Vista Premium 64 on my new(ish) laptop. I have had a few compatibility problems with both drivers and software. I simply cannot get my GPS60cs or Palm to sync with it so have to use one of our XP desktops. Certain new games (Hoyle card games for one) will not run normally on Vista, no matter what the packaging says. You can get it to run via a back door method but it's a pain.

After saying that, I still like Vista and given the choice would not want to go back to XP. It's certainly better than the bad reviews it gets, and this is coming from somebody who has actually had problems with it.
