Michael over at 4sysops reports that an update to the Adminpak.msi administrative tools is now available on Microsoft's web site. He also reports that there are still concerns about using them on Vista:

Notice that I just opened some of the tools and played a little with them. I didn’t really run a complete test. Since Microsoft doesn’t officially support the Adminpak tools for Vista, it is certainly better to wait for SP1 and RSAT. One cannot rule out the possibility that you break something on your servers if you use them on Vista.

If you run the Adminpak tools on Windows XP, then it probably makes sense to update them, especially if you are managing Windows Server 2003 SP2 with them. I recommend skimming over this knowledge base article before you install it. It is important to note that you have to uninstall the old version first. Don’t just click on “reinstall” when you install the new version.

Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 Administration Tools Pack for x64 editions

Is it just me or has Microsoft been overtly, excessively late on getting remote admin tools for Vista released? Am I the only one that thinks this delay in getting the tools out could be another of the reasons why admins have a bad taste on Vista so much?
