used Mozbackup to import my settings from the XP install
if you are an IE/Outlook user, the inbuilt vista files and settings transfer wizard is actually amazing.
A patched up version of ultimate Sp1 with all the additions like IIS adds up to 19.2gb, just enough so windows wont complain about swapfiles

I noticed a couple things about the installing that have really irked me. The first is the computer functioning check after the files are installed.
The second thing is the hard drive demand. If you want to buy this OS, I would not even believe installing it on a hard drive smaller than 120 gigs.

what software is it that you are wanting to work with? You can try to work with it after you set its properties to be compatible with xp on Vista. Apparently that can get the softwares working which are not compatible with vista.
