Same here, I use the latest version of uTorrent and sometimes Azureus (Vuze) both work absolutely fine, they are not x64 native but Windows x64 editions will emulate x86 to run the older programs.

64-bit Vista can run 32-bit programs just fine.  The only special thing you need for Vista is specifically 64-bit drivers for your hardware.

You don't need signed drivers anymore.  A 2007 patched disabled that, presumably due to the exact issue you brought up.

ok cool

BTW, in case I am wrong about unsigned drivers being allowed, this is the trick I used to use:
