Custom Modules For IIS7 - Developed with IIS 5.1 (ASP.NET)

I am starting a new project (ASP.NET 3.5) that will require at least one
custom HTTP module. My two development computers are running 32-bit XP
Pro/SP2, but I plan to reimage with Vista (already have it ready to be
installed). My preference would be to NOT switch to Vista quite yet, but
continue the project with my XP Pro systems.

Is it possible or reasonable to proceed with developing the custom HTTP
module(s) with my XP Pro system (IIS 5.1) and expect that they will work
just fine with IIS7 - and with no changes - when I upgrade to Vista? Or do I
really need to switch to Vista before developing these custom HTTP modules?

One module will implement a custom authentication scheme. Another will load
an assembly into a separate app domain, execute some code, marshal the
results back, stick them into the ASP.NET application state, and then kill
that separate app domain.

Thanks.

I started writing a little essay on this, so I captured it on my blog.
About time I resumed blogging again.

Thanks for the response David... unfortunately the link is dead... no page
comes back when I go to that link.
