not really sure as my experience with vista is pretty limited. but if worse comes to worse, virtual pc 2007 has vista support now.

well, like I said, you can do everything from a virtual PC with VPC2007

as for vista compatible software though… do a google search and see whats vista ready. I’ve honestly never heard of frostwire

why not go with utorrent/azureus or something?
