Can I use SQL Server 2008 management studio with SQL Server 2005?

I have management studio 2005 and 2008, can the 2008 version be setup to connect to 2005? I understand there are new features in 2008 that I wouldn't be able to use, but I mainly use the software to graphical create new tables and assign relationships.

Yes, Sql Server Management Studio 2008 works with Sql Server 2005. However, it does not work with Sql Server 2000.

I incorrectly stated that it doesn't work with Sql Server 2000, while in fact it does. However, having said that, it's probably not going to give you a whole lot usability options if you're connecting to Sql Server 2000.
