5 things about Vista for Developer

If you have Reporting Services running please be patient to upgrade it until Sql Server 2005 release the SP2. SQL Server 2005 won't detect your IIS 7 (even though you have install IIS6 metabase in the machine). Some hack can be done but I don't advised it
If you develop mobile device you have to know that there are no Active Sync. Vista have included that own active sync BUT its ONLY SIMPLE RNDIS driver you can't sync with outlook or debug your WM5 apps. Be sure to visit Windows mobile center and download "Windows Mobile Device Center" (whoa this apps build using WPF J) to update the rndis driver for sync support in outlook. Install this drive before you install WM5 SDK
Yup there is WinFX in Vista so before install Windows SDK for Vista is sure to enable it in Program and Features in Windows feature task.
Some Issue VS 2005 in Vista had been solved in their first services pack be sure to install it J
If you VSTO developer please update your VSTO into VSTO SE for sake of compatibility and support for Office 2007

Best Regards
