I can't think of any particular titles off of the top of my head, but a lot of Windows 95 era software developed for the education market had trouble with Windows Vista. Those issues would carry into Windows 7 and 8. Microsoft also removed support for Windows 3.x era software in 64 bit versions of Windows, which turns out to be an issue with a few Windows 95 applications as well (which periodically shipped with Windows 3.x era components).
