Using SQL Server 2008 Management Studio on a SQL Server 2005 database?

Hi,

I just installed the SQL Server 2008 (February CTP version) on a spare PC to see what its like. I noticed that :

a) the Management studio has some nice new features and
b) you can connect it to a SQL Server 2005 database without any obvious problem

So my question is whether this is a bad idea? ie do you think its safe to use the 2008 client tools on a 2005 database?

thanks - reddalStart Free Trial
