We have been fine at 10 for over a year now[1], however it took us a 
while to figure out that for some bizarre reason[2] 'File and Print 
Sharing' being enabled actually caused the workstation to flood ping the 
local subnet looking for printers everytime someone pressed <Print> on 
their workstation.

Similar thing happens under Vista only when you want to add an IPP 
printer by hand :-/

Cheers

[1] we are a university with about 600 staff and 3000 students
[2] might be linked to Novell being installed too, but who knows
