It should work but it also depends on the specifications of your computer.
No
It depends on which version. 4 and 5 versions are compatible with vista.
No, it's compatible with Windows XP, or Vista/Vista64.
No. Not necessarily needing from the original Simcity series to play Simcity 4, but to play Simcity 4: Rush Hour, that's where you'd need the first Simcity 4.
Yes. The official name is Simcity 4.
Yes
It says right on their website that they do not have a supported version for Windows Vista. However most people can make it work on Vista by running compatibility mode in XP and also running it as an administrator.To better help you make this work you are also going to need the "OBLIVION PATCH v1.2.0416" from the official website.
SimCity is NOT known as that, nor will it be in the future.

No, you can't use SimCity 4 mods on SimCity Societies.
No. Windows 95 supported only VxD drivers, which no Windows in the NT line (NT 3.1, 3.5, 3.51, 4, 2000, XP, Vista) support. Windows 98 supported both WDM and VxD. WDMs are the only supported driver model in 2000 and XP. If written well, a WDM driver from Windows 98 could work on Vista, but it is highly unlikely that hardware that runs with Windows 98 would be used in a Vista computer anyway. Also, certain components, such as the print spooler, have been totally rewritten for Vista, and thus the drivers do not work anymore. Vista-specific drivers also provide better performance.
Windows 7 is about 4 million times better then Vista. no actually its not. it can make your computer slower and isn't actually that different.
