I installed 2008 on a Windows Vista system. Overall things worked very well. Here are the things I found:
1. When installing, the UAC prompt identifies the InstallShield 2008 installer as an unidentified program. Perhaps the decompressed MSI was not signed?
2. The activation screen, though fancy with its non-rectangular shape was a little confusing in that the buttons to be pressed were protruding below the main rectangle making me think perhaps they were on an underlying screen.
3. Loaded my InstallShield 12 project and was able to create an MSI which installed and uninstalled without incident (other than the unidentified program UAC prompt during uninstall, which I think is a Vista issue).
4. I notice that isdev.exe is marked with a requireadministrator manifest. Is this a permanent thing?
5. The UAC prompt that appears when isdev is started just identifies the program as isdev, rather than InstallShield 2008.
