only problems I have had flashing with vista are. I have to delete the driver from the device manager for tethering to work. IE delete then let it reinstall. I also ran into a problem with the image file on the root of the sd card when I tried to flash the radio rom it got the one from the sd card instead. SO I removed the SD and tried again works fine. YOu still have to connect to PC to unlcok phone anyway.

SD card issues

2 it seems you must have an sd card bigger than 1 GIg for it to work. Others have reported same problem and I had it to turns out the 1 gig card won't work. It probable has to do with the fact that fat 32 was originally deignesd to work with disks larger than 1.6 Gig or there abouts.
