Windows 7 Application Compatibility

I am hoping that since Windows 7 is a kissing cousin of Windows Vista I will be able to use apps that were meant for vista without any issues. I tested Firefox and so far the 3.5.1 version has performed flawlessly.

I also installed acronis true image workstation 9.1 on Windows 7.
I successfully mounted an image made from vista without any problems. The install went without a hitch as well. It looks I will not have to buy the latest version after all.

Some other random notes:

I like the vista dock thingy. However, I had to set the taskbar buttons to:
combine when taskbar is full from it's native setting of always. It was annoying me. with firefox or internet explorer.
