NIS2007 is going to be Vista compatible, I do not know at this time if they
are going to update any of their older versions to be so (somehow I doubt
it, but stranger things have happened). It won't be out until around the
same time Vista is released.

Those permissions are designed to protect an average user from themselves.
You can disable UAC from the tools tab of msconfig, and set folder options
in the control panel to allow users to see hidden and system files (on the
view tab). Most users have no need to get into these folders, networked or
not, and the settings should be left as is.
