Support for Active Desktop

I wonder how this fits in with Group Policy settings that allow you to set
the wallpaper etc?

It seems Vista has been designed a lot more for home users than coporate
users - the incentive to move from 2000/xp is pretty low initially.

I've also noticed another useful XP feature (for coporate networks) has
disappeared, namely the ability to set the Default User background screen -
i.e the screen that appears when the CTRL-ALT-DEL login box appears. Simple
thing, but looks good when creating a customised ICT suite using your own
bitmap!
