I'm going to tell you from my experience what works and what doesn't...
This might help some of you and then some of it you probably already know.
-What Does-
Hardware:
Canon i560 printer (detected by Vista automatically)
Flash drive (Sandisk Cruzer Mini)
Card Reader for digital camera
Rio S35S MP3 player (use the disc that came with it)
Logitech Wingman controller
Logitech MX510 mouse
Logitech Elite Keyboard
Proview 19" monitor
Ati Radeon X1600 PRO
NVIDIA Network Adapter
Software:
Rio Music Manager version 2.90
Lavasoft Adaware 1.06 SE Personal
Ares 1.91
Mozilla Firefox 1.5
Microsoft Office 2007 Professional Plus
GAIM 1.5.0
HP Photosmart Photo Printing version 1.3.1.19
Sierra Print Artist 8.0
DAZ Bryce 5.5
Microsoft Picture It! 10
Quake III Arena
Adobe Photoshop 5.5
Avast! anti-virus 4.7
-What Does But Needs Work-
Hardware:
Creative Audigy 5.1 (24-bit) - must use KX drivers and only lime-green audio
jack works. When resuming from sleep, there's no sound also
Software:
Microsoft Plus! for Windows XP - Screensavers work. Desktop themes work.
All games but Labyrinth work. Error while installing.
-What Does Not For Me-
Hardware:
Visioneer 5800 USB scanner
Software:
Microsoft Picture It! Photo Premium 2001 - installs and opens, but when you
go to open a file, you always get a stopped working message
Asus Probe version 22301 (or older) - NTVDM encountered a hard error when
you try to install it
 
Travis, I was able to load drivers and software for my Visioneer USB 8900
scanner by exploring the set-up disc and changing all of the properties that
can be run in XP SP2 mode before running the setup.exe file. (X86 version)
 
I'll give it a shot.

I did get my scanner to get installed, but when I scan, it gets half-way
through previewing (when I go to preview the scan) then it gets stuck.
