For the most part, it seems that the copious issues that we used to have with CAD (and practically every other application in existence) and Vista are slowly being resolved as the programs are upgraded/patched.
But if you still need to run versions of software that date before about this year, then I would advise sticking with XP.

You should also make sure Disable Desktop Composition is enabled in the Compatibility tab of the program's property window.
