Move to Vista

I moved to Vista today, here are my notes:

Good News:

• CVS and Subversion work well in Vista (except for what is listed in Bad below).  I had to grab the night build of Subversion, but it runs well.
• Outlook 2007 works extremely well.  It actually closes when you want it to and threads seem to be more in control.
• Visual Studio 2005 runs well (with the Vista Service Pack).
• Beyond Compare works – can't live without it.
• Daemon Tools allows ISOs to be attached – very nice product. Thanks to Scott Hanselman for the recommendation.
• SQL Server 2005 runs as expected.
• Syncing Treo 700w using Bluetooth works after downloading Windows Mobile Device Center.

Bad News:

• Visual Studio 2003 is not supported.  I knew this going in, but thought I'd give it a shot
  • Workaround: Install Virtual PC 2007 and run XP in a VM.  I like this approach rather than hacking VS2003 to get it to run on Vista. I have the RAM.
• CVS Shell icons do not seem to appear… I can live without that because we only have one client that uses CVS.
• Juniper Network Connect did not work with our VPN server until we patched it.
• I can't burn DVDs directly in Windows Explorer. I can with Roxio, though.
