Will i have compatibility issues with XP?

Hey all, i have Win XP corporate Pro edition, but before i install, i wanna check to see if these pieces of software will run (i don't mind re-installing if need be) properly in it:

-USB Wireless Network adapter, ituses EZ connect Wirless USB protocol, from SMC
-PowerStrip
-WinRamTurbo
-InCD
-Padius Disk Juggler
-InterAct JoyAct (its a joystick-recognition software for my USb Joystick)

all these pieces of software are upgraded to latest ed.

I don't want to go in and install this software if i can't run half my stuff. Please let me know what you think!

P.S.
I heard there is an option to "run a program in win98 mode." How true is this, and does it work?

Start the upgrade, or try the compatibility tests.
This one is OK, and you should run the Microsoft one, but at 50 megs to download, it's out of the question on dial-up.

Reboot I did download 268Mb - took 8 hours here.. from QNX website,Downloaded BeOS ~40 megs from their Website 1 and a half hour, on a dial up so this means it can be done.. at least where I live..all in one shot..one at the time.

the compatibility option does work to some extend - if you are running DOS programs then just forget about it - but most win98 progs will run - with this I mean 90%..
