I feel the need to post this because I am gratefull for the internets helping me with this.
It really was easy.
First Zune Software:
1. Get the files for the cd if you accidently left yours at work like I did:

2. Get this Zune Software Installer Vista patch:

and follow the directions here:

3. Now that the Zune software is running on Vista, connect your Zune and tell Vista to find the drivers on the root of the HDD/Partition that you installed Zune software to. I think the inf file is in the Program Files/Zune directory, but Vista found it automatically.
Thank you linked posts and internets.
Zune works perfect with my Zune, sync tested and marketplace tested.
