Other's  in here have run Mach using Vista, I have never used Vista.
Not sure if there are any quirks. Do a search in here. Surely there will be replies to help you out.

If you can run other machines then it's a matter of the controller interface and of course some differences in the gcode.
Maybe just download and install Mach on your PC and have a look. They may use a custom screen set and as such it may resemble what your accustomed to.

Another option would be to watch some of the available videos.

That said, I would not worry about it.

Thank you very much Rich ,  Do you think I may have a problem downloading Mach on my laptop ? It is a HP home premium with vista .
