It is only the in house written or 'corporate' written software crap that has no concept of NT security that has problems with Vista or possibly Win7 that enforces the 20yr old NT security model that the software developers should have written for in the first freaking place.

Yes you're right.

I work for a company which have theses problems. Lots of apps are written for IE6 with ActiveX on Win2k. ActiveX doesn't work in the same way in IE6 and IE7. Mainly for security reasons.
We had to rewrite most of them, and it was a pain.

We also have links with others proprietary software like Business Objects. But our version doesn't work on Vista.

Even if, after 1 year of dev, we can run our app on vista, they have install a vmware with Windows 2000 on it. They need it for others apps. It cost a lot to change software.
