Microsoft has a HCL (Hardware Compatibility List) for all WHQL-Certified hardware, available here. This is the most recent revision, dated 10-29-2002.

If you're looking at upgrading, download the latest "checkupgradeonly" utility from MS. Outside of that, the most incompatible applications are (drum roll):
 
1. Utilities - antivirus, older versions of firewalls, utility suites, etc.
2. CD burning programs
3. Interactive/multimedia applications that use an old version of Quicktime (usually ver. 2.*)
4. Some 16bit Windows programs (programs originally designed to run on Windows 3.1*)
 
Considering the vast number of applications out there, many who's mfgr's are gone, a list of this type is almost impossible.
