Same as always
I had hardware problem going from Window NT to Windows 2000. I had to help tons of people with hardware problems going from Windows 98 SE to Windows XP. Nothing is different now. By the time the first service pack in out everything will be fine.

Alos:

Why is you have people trying to bring that 10 year old + printer, web cam, sound card or what ever with them. I'm guilty of this too. I've been dragging my Creative card bought in 1999 through all my new PCs and there have 4 since. Why? I mean really a sound card is cheap. Why do I like my old one so much and I do like it. I've seen this same behavior in others where my Uncle had a laser printer from the mid 90s, one he got from work as it was too old for them. He dragged it through all the Windows 9X release then tried to get it to work in XP. It wouldn't of course and that irritated him. Is this just human nature. If it's works why not use it? Then when it doesn't work with an OS because of bit of software it causes us grief. I think so.
