To be fair I should say while I use Vista we make extensive use of IBM Host on Demand across the Enterprise and it is our preferred TN3270 platform for most folks. New users are not provisioned with Windows PCOM but rather instructed to use HOD. HOD is not too bad except when it upgrades and requires you to reinstall the "right" Java.
http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/hostondemand/ I bought a copy of the IBM Host Access Client Package for myself to get my own licensed copy of PCOM for use at home a couple years ago and it set me back $300. PCOM is not very reasonably priced for the individual. I don't know what corporate volume pricing is like. http://www.ibm.com/software/network/hostaccess/ PCOM has a large footprint but having worked on the other end of support for extended 3270 data streams it is the gold standard for accurate emulation. HOD certainly does offer an economy of scale.
