[VISTA] Warning: Vista SP1 will disable GPMC!

Hi All,
I know how people tend to not pay attention to things until the problem
arrives at your doorstep so here is a preemptive warning. This info has been
out there for a while but as the release of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 to
the general public draws nearer I wanted to reiterate that when you install
SP1 and you are using your Vista Machine to control Group Policy on your
domain that the Group Policy Management console *WILL BE REMOVED!*
Bottom line is you will have to get a Server 2008 machine going if you want
to run GPMC and all your Vista machines to run SP1 and be up to date.

Someone has come up with a "hack" workaround using Altiris SVS to run
it<http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2790291&SiteID=17>
on
Vista but it requires disabling UAC so I wouldn't reccomend it.
