No problems - Vista is fully supported (x86 or x64) in a 2003/2000
Active Directory environment

Your profile should work across both platforms if you are using
roaming profiles.

No issues with mixed access of Vista x64/Outlook 2007 and XP/Outlook
203 or XPSp2/Outlook 2007 to the same mailbox.
You can mix clients Vista and XPSP2 and platforms x64 and x86 and
Outlook 2003 and 2007 against the same mailbox without issue.
