Can't speak for XP/S2K3, but we use it in production under S2K in an
S2K3 environment, and I can vouch for it's usefulness.

When we set our system up, there were some issues with AD LDAP support
that I couldn't overcome - NTUserFolder provides authentication to the
Intranet using Windows credentials, which was all we needed.

There was some issue with crypto on the 2K3 Server, but this was just a
case of some silly default settings (same sort of stuff that would cause
Same /et al/ issues).

Let me know if you need more details...
