Does anyone know if you get the equilivent of the adminpak for server 2008 for XP?

I know the Vista version is called RSAT but that's Vista only.

Surely you don't have to run Vista to manage your 2008 estate?
 
You can do the majority with the 2003 adminpak, you will however struggle with DNS and DHCP, although MS did patch DNS at one point (last time I used that was Pre Vista SP1, but the patch stopped working with SP1 - they may have updated this at some point).

So long as you have MMC 3.0 installed on your XP box, you shouldn't have any major issues.
