Hi Madison,
Firstly, as for Visual Studio, only Visual Studio 2005 can be used on
Windows Vista(Visual Studio .NET 2002 or 2003 can not be used on Windows
Vista). So if you have .NET 1.x applications to maintain, you have to do it
on Windows operation systems prior to Vista. FYI, all .NET
applications(target 1.x or 2.0) can run on Windows Vista.
You may begin to develop your new application on Windows Vista or continue
the develop on Windows Vista. It's on your decision.
Note that after you intall VS2005 on Windows Vista, you should also intall
VS2005 SP1. You may visit the following link to get VS2005 SP1.
'Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 (SP1)'

In addition, you'd better install 'Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Upate
for Windows Vista Beta' to get VS2005 to work better with Vista. You could
get it from the above link.
Hope this helps.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.
Sincerely,
Linda Liu
