It shouldn't make any difference whatsoever -- and hasn't in a long time, even if the defaults for what disk management likes to do only have changed in Vista.
NT-based versions of Windows (including NT 4.0, 2000 and XP) have all been quite happy with more than one primary partition on the disk, and the only substantial difference is that extended partitions are, by their nature, non-bootable (the OS can potentially get around this by installing its bootloader in the MBR or on a bootable primary partition).
