Which business critical "off the shelf" software won't work on Windows Vista?

Please share by hitting the "Comment" button (or email me with the subject "These Apps don't work on Vista") which applications are critical to your business and yet don't work on Windows Vista. 

By compiling a list of applications and vendors then I can approach each and see how we may be able to help them fix the problem.

    Jungle Jim> My aim was to get a feel for what issues you're facing. Absolutely there are many people both at corp and World wide doing excellent work in compatability. There will always be enough security work out there (sadly) as I'll delve into in my next post...

    The biggest headache I've found with apps on Vista64 Enterprise was trying to get the 2003 AdminPak to install.  Googling gave an answer to that but I've yet to get the Exchange options working.   Oh, and the Microsoft powertoys don't install either. Steve, I emailed you directly regarding an ISA question a few days ago, did you get it?

    Vodafone Mobile Connect; there is finally a Beta supporting Vista but it is extremely flakey, almost unusable.

    Errm, why do you appear to be setting up a 1-man "Vista compatibility helpdesk"? You give the impression that Redmond doesn't have teams working on such issues. Is this a way of expressing your frustration with Microsoft's assistance to the affected businesses? Another possibility is that Vista security is so good that you're looking for new work :-)
