Have things gotten better with Vista now with the older soaring programs, or
are there still major problems?

Specifically See You, * Winpilot, LX Navigation for colibri??

My computer is getting old, but I am not sure if it is safe to replace it
yet, if it will kill these programs.

Thanks

If you want to avoid Vista you can always buy a PC with a Windows
Vista Business or Ultimate edition license and use the downgrade
rights to run Windows XP - either have the OEM install it or install
it yourself from media you already have (it won't come with Windows XP
install media). You can find information on most OEM sites about
these offerings if you search for "downgrade". Personally reinstalling
a clean OS from scratch is often faster and cleaner than trying to
remove all the crapware that many OEMs burden their systems with. You
can also currently still purchase a retail or system builder version
of Windows XP (e.g. from Amazon.com). If you are into PC gaming etc.
then there might be good reasons to go to Vista.

For me the hassle of going to Vista is just not worth it, I only use
Windows XP for SeeYou and ActiveSync to my iPAQ PDAs and a few other
applications. Everything else is on a Mac OS/X. And the Windows XP I
do use runs under VMware Fusion on the Mac (3D graphics in SeeYou are
unaccellerated but usable on a fast Mac).
