I don't think you'll need to worry. I'm sure they'll
not work just as well as they didn't work on 9x/NT.
Apparently the only script not supported on Vista is
Vista scripting:

http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/08/05/2233207&from=rss

(Frankly, I'm a bit confused by that news. They say that
monad was removed from Longhorn/Vista, but MS says
they were not planning to put it in put in now the first place.
On the other hand, if that's the case, how are people
writing viruses to it?
Then the Slashdot article says monad will be added
in 2007, but I think I remember reading awhile back that it
would not be ready "for several years".)
