I've run into no problems yet on my personal machine. The company I work
for does consulting work in the Pgh, PA area, and we've been scrambling to
help our customers upgrade. We've run into very few issues so far, and
those have been minor. Several of our customers do on-line banking and
payroll type stuff, and everything has worked (especially PNC Bank, which
requires Netscape...go figure???). The trade-off is well worth the added
security.
