Windows 2008 group policy questions for MSFT

Is it correct for me to say:

Windows 2008 group policies will not be recongnized on a Windows XP client
because these clients use adm files, not admx regardless of the forest /
domain functional level.

Can I have a Windows 2003 DC servicing XP clients (adm), and have a Windows
2008 DC servicing Vista (admx) clients within the same domain?

Victor,
the differences between ADM and ADMX files limit the ways in which GPOs are
edited/managed - but not applied. In other words, to edit ADMX-based
policies, you need to use Group Policy management tools from a Vista or
Windows Server 2008 systems - but settings you configure will apply to any
GP-aware versions of Windows as well (assuming, of course, that they are not
specific to Vista or Windows Server 2008 only)...
