I hear alot of good stuff about this. Will this work on a laptop with Vista? That's the only one I have, I suppose I can change it.

You can download the s/w on-line and install it to see if it loads, when you order it they send you the key.
It works on my XP machine, and I have read that it does work with Vista (I don't have a Vista machine to verify).
I am fairly sure it will work on my new W7 machine, at least in compatibility mode if not native W7 mode.
You'll want a scan tool, Datamaster is considered to be the best. I ordered mine from akmcables for a discounted price of $95. You'll also want VEMaster to help tune your VE tables, it is freeware. A wideband is a must for any tuning, but you probably know all this stuff already.
