Is there a user friendly Vista appcompat tool?

[Guest]

I saw the technet tools but it requires a SQL database. Before I upgrade I
want to make sure that vital apps (like my printer) will work. Is there
anything available for us end users. I'm scared to upgrade.

Thanks in advance,

Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor not only tells you if your PC is up to running
Vista, but also does hardware and app compatability
