I spoke with Sony support today on another issue and the tech said that there was a free CONNECT software patch scheduled for January that addresses VISTA (they know it won't install) and a "bunch of other problems." He did not and would not go into detail. He did say that there is not a firmware update that he knows about yet.

As for current installation in VISTA. I set up a virtual machine under VISTA and installed an old copy of WinXP home. It worked like a champ. (They allow 7 devices and I only have 1 reader, so far.)
