What is the technical reason for why it can't work in Vista?
Isn't there something about Vista locking up the lower level system calls (which were left open and abused in previous version of Windows)? I vaguely remember anti-virus companies complaining about it.

It's a pain in the ass to get it working with Vista 64...but you can do it, the forums there are very helpful.

With the newest version it is simply that Microsoft requires this (security theatre) signed driver system. It costs $300-500 dollars which isn't a lot, but for a free program...

Actually in the newest version you just have to permit it's unsigned driver.

What I did is download an ipfilter.dat file. You can load it in utorrent, and it uses a list similar to the peerguardian list.

As an alternative, you could run a VM, and do your torrenting through that.
