No, but it is likely to be supported in future versions of course, I
personally think any Microsoft product not willing to support Vista is
asking for trouble.

It does work, you need to install IIS from the command line to get all the
right bits, eg CGI + the old API etc.

IIS7 has all the config info in an XML file in the webfolder, so you no
longer need to edit metabase.xml etc, but some old installers run IIS6
components, if you run this command line, its adds all the bits you need.

this is the command line :

start /w pkgmgr /l:log.etw
/iu:IIS-WebServerRole;IIS-WebServer;IIS-CommonHttpFeatures;IIS-StaticContent;IIS-DefaultDocument;IIS-DirectoryBrowsing;IIS-HttpErrors;IIS-HttpRedirect;IIS-ApplicationDevelopment;IIS-ASPNET;IIS-NetFxExtensibility;IIS-ASP;IIS-CGI;IIS-ISAPIExtensions;IIS-ISAPIFilter;IIS-ServerSideIncludes;IIS-HealthAndDiagnostics;IIS-HttpLogging;IIS-LoggingLibraries;IIS-RequestMonitor;IIS-HttpTracing;IIS-CustomLogging;IIS-ODBCLogging;IIS-Security;IIS-BasicAuthentication;IIS-WindowsAuthentication;IIS-DigestAuthentication;IIS-ClientCertificateMappingAuthentication;IIS-IISCertificateMappingAuthentication;IIS-URLAuthorization;IIS-RequestFiltering;IIS-IPSecurity;IIS-Performance;IIS-HttpCompressionStatic;IIS-HttpCompressionDynamic;IIS-WebServerManagementTools;IIS-ManagementConsole;IIS-ManagementScriptingTools;IIS-ManagementService;IIS-IIS6ManagementCompatibility;IIS-Metabase;IIS-WMICompatibility;IIS-LegacyScripts;IIS-LegacySnapIn;IIS-FTPPublishingService;IIS-FTPServer;IIS-FTPManagement;WAS-WindowsActivationService;WAS-ProcessModel;WAS-NetFxEnvironment;WAS-ConfigurationAPI

You could try the VS 2005 SP1 Beta.

Not that I know anything specific about running VS on Vista, you
understand

But I do I know that it has updated Virtual Machine Additions which
works to run Vista 5365 under VS (not your problem)

To sign up for the Beta:

Don't forget that Build 5308 CTP does NOT install IIS 7.0 Beta by Default
Installation. You need to follow the directions in the Amendment to the
Build 5308 CTP Release Notes in order to install IIS 7.0 Beta.
