RSlogix on Vista

Hi All,
I have been thinking about upgrading my laptop. However if I have an old version of RSlogix 500 that works on XP will it work on Vista? Will it run in any kindof compatibility mode like XP has built in. Also will it work with all editions like vista 64 bit and 32 bit?

Thanks

RSLogix will run; however RSLinx will not. You can write programs but thats about it. I have it installed on my desktop vista untimate 64bit, it runs fine even though it says it's not compatible.

RSLogix500 doesn't have official Vista support until 8.0
RSLinx doesn't have official Vista support until 2.54

I have heard of people getting older versions to work, but I was not successful.
