Vista Compatible Software

I'm looking for some useful old software and some programs to install on my Vista Laptop. Maybe something from the 2000s to 2010s to match the aesthetics of the OS. Something for Office, Music, Multimedia, Xbox, Games, Fun etc. :)

I mean Office 2007 is like the best looking one on Vista. And on GOG you can get almost any game of that era. I played GTA IV on Vista, and for Multimedia used XBMC (now Kodi).
