software is big concern

Many of the reasons that were pointed out about companies taking on the new OS. http://www.zdnet.co.uk/talkback/0,1000001161,39284590-39001068c-20082761o,00.htm

The main concern about software running on Vista is a big factor in schools moving to Vista. It would just be the mainstream software that will need to run on the OS successfully. Disability Software (like Jaws / Zoomtext) used on school computers worldwide are going to need some work before supporting the OS.
