I think, it will be run. But not without problems.

The program FreeXP (CrossPoint) (see: www.freexp.de)
runs on Vista, but with some problems:

- Some workarounds around Windows NT-Bugs (in the NTVDM)
  wont work anymore (Harddisk-Size-Functions show totaly nonsense).

- The TP-RTL must be patched (the patch that is needed
  for all modern Computers.)

Thats all about Vista 32 Bit, but not Vista 64 Bit.
On Vista 64 Bit Turbo Pascal and Programs build with
ist wont work anymore.
