Silly question I think: Boot Camp partition issues with VMware Fusion installed

I was wondering if there were any issues with having VMware Fusion installed booting a Boot Camp Drive with Windows Vista 64. Any known issues if I were to go back and forth between using Boot Camp and Fusion?

Currently the virtual machine Fusion builds to support Boot Camp supports 32-bit machines. If you want to run Vista x64, you can manually change the guest operating system setting in the configuration file. Also the activation support needed to keep Windows from requiring re-activation when changing back and forth between environments is not there. If you run Vista Enterprise that is not a problem, for most retail copies of Vista it's a problem.

There's a more in-depth discussion including exact steps in this thread:
