I see this for certain with the first generation 70-200, and so does Bjorn Rorslett, a very well regarded reviewer on Nikon equipment: http://www.naturfotograf.com/AFS70-200VR_rev04.html Remember it does not help you with subject movement - which is what most users fail to take into consideration when cribbing about stabilized lenses - I learnt it the hard way (lots of discarded photographs!). The new second generation stabilized (VR2) lenses can be used on tripods as well.
