Mathew,

What do you mean the KMS is running on your Vista machine.
The KMS is actually a service you see in Services as Software Platform
Protection Services (sppsvc), you are running a KMS only if that service is
installed a and activated.
Since you actually ran the Server 2003 SP1 package on a Server that is the
only place where that service will be running once you have activated the
KMS with your Key.
The KMS will then enable for activating clients once the n-count reaches 25.
Post install it will register the appropriate SRV records.

So I am a little confused as to what that leads you to beleiev that your PC
is hosting a KMS
