Vista and domain default profile

Currently we have a default profile that is hosted in the netlogon share on our DC's, when a user logs on this is picked up rather than the local default profile. This works very well for our XP users and 2k but i'm wondering how Vista will react to this as i have read that Vista is not compatible with XP profiles at all.
I've had a look through the Managing Roaming User Data Deployment Guide and i have seen that Vista should use our redirected profiles and create a sub folder with it's own profile separate to a users XP profile but this doesn't seem to happen.

At the moment when a domain user logs on Vista complains of a corrupt profile and i'm wondering if this is to do with the default profile in the netlogon folder, i was hoping Vista would ignore this profile as it is an XP one.

Anyone seen an issue like this during testing?

Cheers.

Ah ha i think i've found the answer on closer inspection of the deployment guide "Create a new folder in the Netlogon share and name it Default User.v2" i'll give it a try but it looks like the solution to my problem.
