What programs don't work in Vista

I am planning to install Vista CTP build from 2/06 which I got from Microsoft. It will be an upgrade installation.
Is there a list of software that doesn't run in Vista?
I am talking about Windows programs that currntly run in XP
thanks

This is trial and error experience right now, you can't get a guarantee because the product is still in development. So something that might have worked in build 5270, might now work in 5308, and something that might not have worked in 5308, might work in 5342. Stronger confirmation is a likely event when BETA 2 arrives. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

There's a few - anti-virus' mainly (but the ones that do work can be seen here: http://www.vistabase.co.uk/welcome.php?subcats/applications/antivirus) but normally if they don't work, stick them in compatibility mode with XP SP2 and normally they work OK.
If they don't work, contact the author or manufacturer :o)

Thanks for the information and link.
I knew in my heart that Norton wouldn't work so now I will have to un-install it.
