Anonymity systems like Tor are designed to be resistant to bad nodes, even when the operator of the node is a bad guy. Working on this premise, how can the security weakness of Windows be sufficient justification for not running a Tor node on it? Certainly some degree of caution and careful monitoring would be advisable but this holds true when opening any public service. Running a Tor server on Vista seems like a very good idea, if only to provide the developers with feedback on how well it works.
