I have recently installed and tested Windows 7 Release Candidate. And I also tried to install the softwares I usually install on my Windows XP after a reformat.
Here are some of the software that I am using, which are not compatible with Windows 7:

1. shadow user
2. sandboxie

-Those are both virtual machine software, used to redirect the things you are doing in your computer to the cache. To avoid virus invasion in the hard disk drive.
-So far, that's only two. But see for yourself if you can find software's which are also incompatible with Windows 7.
