I am a freelance web programmer and considering to get a new machine with Vista installed. I hear many compatibility issues though.

These are the programs I must be able to run on.

IIS web server with multiple websites (on Ultimate I read so)

SQL Server 2005 (2000 possible ?)

MySQL 4.1

VS.NET

Zend Studio

Photoshop

Do any web developers/programmers successfully work on Windows Vista? Want to hear some experiences. Links to the issues will also be appreciated.

SQL Server 2005 and VS.NET work fine for me, I never got mySQL to work correctly, but I think its mostly me not setting it up correctly. With SQL Server, MySQL, and Oracle Express running all at once, I was required to push my machine to 2Gb of RAM. I did not run multiple websites, so I don't know how that will work out for you.
