restoring machine back ups

I'll be honest. I've never really had a lot of experience in restoring machine back ups. Are there common problems where if you back up a machine with an image and restore it to a different machine that it perhaps causes problems since the same internal components are not present? I'd like to hear the experience of some of the experts.

Not so much after Windows Vista.   (BTW it is backups not back ups)
Get the manufacturers drivers first before doing the restore

Thank you Mr. Johnson (btw, I used voice text, hence the double word)

so I'm a little confused on your answer.  you're saying that not so much since vista, but then you say make sure you download the manufacturer drivers.  So what really is your experience in this regard?  Have you had to install drivers after restoring an image on only Vista and prior? or....?
