I think only people that have actually used Vista should answer this question. You are correct, Limewire doesn't work, Frostwire doesn't work but I can't speak for the others (Bearshare is full of spyware, so is Kazaa and I won't touch morpheus with a 10 foot poll).
As far as I know iMesh is the only P2P program that works on Vista. At this time it is your only option (that I know of). It doesn't matter if you have the latest version of Java or not, Limewire will install but will either crash or lock up your network (as has been my experience). It just doesn't run on Vista and as with previous versions of Windows, compatibility mode is a joke.

lime wire should work if you download choose other as operating system instead of windows and unzip it and run limewire.exe, make sure you have java run time 1.5 installed. You can do this by going to the command prompt, run cmd, and type java -version and if you have java installed it would tell you what version, if you dont have java installed then it would give you an error.

Can you right click the program, get to properties. click compatibility tab and run it as a different version of windows?
