We mentioned this on the customer side in terms of investigating what software a client is utilizing. However, from a consultant standpoint, you are the one who ultimately has to work with the tool. Make sure that you have reliable information about an application before you say it doesn't have compatibility with Vista. If the problem is simply the mitigation of permissions, use the Standard User Analyzer to handle the changing of permissions for that one piece of software.
