After reading your column I'd like to let you know that the new group policy functions that are available with Vista and Win2008 are huge improvements for us as a small business trying to provide better configuration and resource availability assistance (drive mappings, shared printers, etc.) to users. The new interface is truly the hardest item to overcome, but the reality is, it provides a ton of new device support, power management, wireless security, etc. that make the migration worth it for us anyway.
