I ran into this article on Datacrash.net of time ago. It discusses what's new in Group Policy in Windows Vista: "As Vista gets ready to ship to the general public, it’s a good time to look at how this new version of Windows improves upon the built-in configuration management technology found in the OS—namely, Group Policy. Group Policy has been around since Windows 2000, and with each successive OS version, its functionality and capabilities are improved. With the introduction of Windows Vista, Microsoft made substantive “under-the-cover” changes for the first time since its release. In addition, they’ve policy enabled a much greater percentage of the OS (including over 500 new Administrative Template settings), and with that, comes greater control over your Vista systems. In this article, we’ll look at these new features, starting off by discussing some of the “infrastructure” changes to Group Policy and then moving onto the highlights of the new policy settings that are now available."
