HeHeHe!
I'm not normally this defeatist, I'd be searching for workarounds and what have you but I've read so many posts on other forums complaining about common software packages not working etc. that I really do think it's a waiting game for the software producers (or hackers!) to catch up. I'm still using XP on both my work and home PCs for exactly this reason, although I have Vista installed as dual-boot on the work PC.
Older software that is no longer supported I can understand, but AOL??? They should have had their installer sorted out months before Vista was released!
Generally speaking, I always insist that a clean install is usually much more trouble free than an in-place upgrade. No redundant registry entries to potentially confuse matters. Back all of your stuff up and wipe the bugger!

I upgraded as oppose to a clean install and it doubled up all my music files etc with the public folder thingy!
I am in the process of backing up my files to an external hard drive and doing a clean install!
The biggest problem I have had is with my
Microsoft Intellipoint Mice as there is a compatibility issue with them, but they would work fine and then just stop!
At one point a window opened alerting me to the fault and it said to fix this issue please click here and I just presumed it was Vista's idea of taking the piss out of me and that it had taken over my webcam and was filming me trying to get the mouse to move the cursor 4 inches across my screen to hit the button to fix my mouse so that I could move it the 4 inches to fix the mouse so that I could move it the 4 inches..........!
Needless to say the air was blue my pc received a punch or two and I can now navigate windows using my keyboard only

grrrrrrr
this is making me even more mad knowing that vista will run ok but the software will not work. looked on adobes website and they aint even supporting audition 2.0 that they brought out last year and for a bloody program that costs over £300 and all you get is well it may work ok is a little poor dont you think. im so itching to try vista again but seems my system is working fine i dont want to mess it up like last time i put it on.
