Group Policy/roaming profiles question with SBS2003

I am running a domain with SBS 2k3 and roaming profiles, Up until this point I have had all XP stations. After playing around with 7 and Vista I started to pick up on all the differences between the networking systems.

I have already figured out the whole V2 profile and decided that it would probably be better that I just let users start from a new profile instead of making XP and Vista/7 profiles inter-operable. But here is my question.

I have a policy set in Group Policy that excludes the "My Documents" folder from loading in the profiles folder on the server. This works flawless for XP. However I have one machine running vista64 ultimate and 7 RC ultimate and both machines do not seem to be managed by the policy. (well the vista machine is having problems but he has an nvidia driver so thats another topic)

I had a friend tell me that a 2003 policy wouldnt be able to manage the vista/7 roaming profile machines due to the difference in profile format. Is this true? I plan to upgrade users to 7 as we buy new machines but dont want their documents folders clogging my server.
