I did a test driver with vista rc2 with gnat and our own software.
Looks like vista is highly compatible with XP.
I was able to build all our software using gnat on vista.
I also was able to use our device drivers build for XP on Vista without 
trouble.
There was some trouble however:
* gcc does not seem to be able to find the compiler gnat1.exe.
   I fixed this by adding the containing directory to the path.
* gps did not start properly but was still usable.
* My own software had some problems with the service interface on vista.
For the rest all my software seems to be running fine.
That includes quite some gui code based on gwindows, some web servers based 
on aws.
My conclusion is that it should be easy to switch to vista.
