Office 2007 vs 2003 Outlook compatibility

Are there any compatibility issues with the PST's between Office 2007 Outlook
and Office 2003 Outlook? I am currently using Office 2003 Outlook on 3 PC's.
One is the master and does all updating for Calendar and Contacts. The
other 2 PC's use BRIEFCASE to sync the PST of the master so that the updates
are available to the other 2. Do you see any problems if I update the master
with a newly acquired Office 2007 Professional Plus?

Thanks

There are currently compatibility issues, but MicroSoft is working on fixing
them, I think.

If using the unicode format for the .pst file in both 2003 and 2007, there should be no obvious compatibility problems. However, Outlook 2007 indexes the contents of the .pst file and that ability is only useful in the 2007 version. It does not cause problems with Outlook 2003, but it does increase the .pst file size due to the increased data contained in the 2007 .pst file.
