This page:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/en-us/default.asp?url=/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/en-us/prork/prdf_fls_mbyy.asp

Claims that it does:

'''
NTFS includes full sparse file support for both compressed and
uncompressed files.
'''

I'll leave the rest of this alone since it's been beaten to death now.
The rest of that page is a good resource for NTFS stuff.
