Can I run Visual Studio 2008 x86 on Windows Vista x64?

Is it possible to run the 32-bit version of Visual Studio 2008 Professional on a Windows Vista 64-bit system?

• Are there any known caveats that I would need to be aware of?
• Would have to install the x64 version of the .NET Framework?
• Would there be any issues on building software targeted for x86?
• Would there be any (justifiable) arguments for getting the x64 version of VS2008 instead of reusing the current x86 license?

Quite tempted on getting a x64 Vista rig to be able to take advantage of more RAM :)

There is no x64 version of Visual Studio 2008. I'm running the standard 32-bit version on Vista x64 Ultimate and it works fine. There really are no day-to-day issues that I've run across. You just install it and go.
