Don't forget the lost restore points problem:

"This problem occurs because the volume snapshot driver that is included
with Windows Vista and with Windows Server "Longhorn" uses disk
structures that are incompatible with earlier versions of Windows.
Therefore, the earlier operating system deletes Windows Vista shadow
copies or Windows Server "Longhorn" shadow copies together with the
associated restore points. This behavior occurs because the earlier
Windows operating systems do not recognize the new disk structures."
