MS has finally gotten their head out of their ass and designed the extensions so they aren't a screaming security breach (you don't need to run it as root and you don't have to make all the files writable by the server daemon). However, be aware that you'll probably have to hack on their install script to make it work. Also, you apparently need to install DES, replacing MD5 for encryption. Of course, this means your password files are invalid and you'd need to chpasswd every account.
