I've been encouraging our users not to install Vista on any of our systems if they can avoid it. Unfortunately a few copies have snuck in through OEM installations. It can be hard to find systems that still have XP on them and the users are bringing in their laptops from home which they bought with Vista pre-installed, and now it's too late to "fix" them.
Other than some hardware drivers which won't work on Vista I haven't heard anyone have much software trouble, but now I ran into my first major problem: Subversion. I cannot seem to find a good SVN client that works under Vista. TortoiseSVN was a staple of our installs with XP, but I can't find an equivalent program for Vista. I'm not even sure if TortoiseSVN will ever be ported because it depends on integration into Explorer.
The only client I've found so far is the Syncro Subversion Client, but at $60 per license I'm inclined to keep searching. It's also Java based, which is probably why it works but not something I want to depend on in Vista either.
Update: Actually TortoiseSVN works on Vista with some known problems. The latest builds look promising, but I haven't tested them.
