SQL Server 2000 client tools and Windows Vista

Can anyone tell me if SQL Server 2000 client tools such as Enterprise
Manager, Query Analyzer, etc. will run on Windows Vista?

We have SQL 2K running on a Win 2003 server. I just want to know if a
client installs Vista, will they be able to install and run the SQL client
tools.

The following links are the best information I could find but the answer
doesn't seem clear.

Regards,

It works just fine on my system, but SQL 2000 was already installed when I
upgraded from XP Media Center.

YMMV.
