What is the best GUI for managing MySQL 5.1 installation? Would like something as close to SQL Server's management tools as possible as that's where my experience is. The management client would need to run under Windows (XP, Vista (32 and 64-bit flavors), and 7 (32 and 64-bit flavors).
I have been using SqlYog for about several years now and am very happy with it. It has the best interface I have seen. Navicat is good, but SqlYog is better. Plus there are several "power" features that come in handy like the query builder tab.
The Pro version is about $70 but there is a free community version.

If you also have a PHP/Apache server, you can user phpMyAdmin or SQL Buddy. Otherwise, the MySQL GUI Tools (Query Browser and Administrator) are good.
Check out MySQL Administrator and other GUI tools here.
You might want to have a look at HeidiSQL. It's free and fast.
So far the closest thing I've found is Navicat Lite http://www.navicat.com/
