I am assuming that you already have Windows Live Messenger, since it comes with Vista. And yes, it is 100% compatible, if you are having problems it is something else. I know one of the going trends right now is if you have a problem to blame Vista, but not applicable this time.

Windows Messenger is not the same as Windows Live Messenger. For the differences see below (and yes, Windows Messenger not included with Vista as it previously had been with XP)

For Windows Live Messenger, ensure you have the most recent version. http://get.live.com/messenger/features
One more note, to have Windows Live Messenger function as intended, you need the most recent version of Adobe Flash. Below are the steps to get it.
Assuming you are in the administrator account, first check Add/Remove Programs to see if you have Adobe or Macromedia Flash installed. If yes uninstall them using the new Uninstaller provided by Adobe and reboot (some computers require a reboot to completely uninstall programs)

Then try to download the Flash player again from the following site:

However, it has been reported that some people are having issues downloading the full version directly from Adobe. If that is the case, you may want to try to download it as a standalone.

Note: Flash Player is not a program per se. It is a plug-in to your web browser to allow flash content to be displayed and is required for many gaming sites.
================
Afterwards check your setting in IE7. Go to Tools, Internet Options, Advanced and scroll down to the Multimedia section and ensure that the appropriate settings are indicated.
