I've tried Vista a few times at various stages of development. I do really like the interface and will be switching to it soon. I'll also be using it on my 3 media centers which will possibly show the biggest improvement.
Once concern I have had is Flash MX 2004 (and Flash 8). When I run these when I open a movie clip the opening animation is VERY slow and almost makes it unusable. I am not sure if you can turn these animations off. Has anyone else had this problem?

They all continued to work. It was everything else that broke. I lost printer support (no Vista drivers, and the XP drivers didn't transfer over). They did fix the hibernate bug, so Vista did finally allow my laptop to hibernate, but the rest of the interface was not only unimpressive, but confusing. If you use Windows-R to access your filesystem, you're in for a shock when you find out that they've moved some of the core directories like Desktop, My Documents, etc. I didn't play around with it long enough to figure it out... I ended up formatting it and going back to XP.

Anyone out there has Vista running on such a setup without issues? Or with issues? I'm still on the fence as to whether the feature set of Vista is compelling enough to warrant the upgrade, and my concerns about screwing up my development environment are a big factor in my decision.
