Vista is
not a "crappy" O/S. What it is is a very
different O/S to XP.
There have always been "rules" for writing Windows applications which it's been a good idea to follow. Prior to Vista, you could get away with "breaking" a lot of these rules. Vista forces you to follow them, or your application doesn't work.
Follow the rules, and apps work fine. 10 year old versions of my own software, for example, run flawlessly under Vista.
Eg, BD - by default at least - writes data to its own folder (or sub-folders of its own folder). That's always been something which is strictly a "no no" (it would always have broken a network installation, for example). There is a function call which a program should make to return the name of the folder in which it should store data.
Write your software professionally and correctly, and Vista is absolutely not a problem.
