Pat, you absolutely CAN run wp locally on your windows vista basic machine.
Download WAMPserver, http://www.wampserver.com/en/ install it, and you get Apache, Mysql, PHP current versions installed and running on your windows machine in a WAMP folder, with the WWW folder under it responding to http://localhost. Install wordpress into /wamp/www/wordpress and use your web browser to http://localhost/wordpress and it just works. xamp for windows (http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html) does the same thing _and_ gives you local ftp and smtp as well. they are VERY cool.
