Probably the most notable one is the printer driver download stuff, and
the fact that it looks and behaves like any other NT print server.  I'm
not convinced that the optional IPP client from MS is really that well
tested, and from reports it doesn't handle authentication etc at all.

For many organizations, the need to install an optional client on each
computer kills things off pretty quickly.
