I fully agree with you.
In my environment, there are a lot of internal web applications that actually
has proper/useful/meaningful popup that one does not want to get rid of.
Also, my company believed (and I fully agreed) that even thought the technical
people has the skill set to enable/disable this type of environment, it will be
the task of the corporation in coming out with policy that address these type
of issues.

Here are the best free client-side options:
http://www.proxomitron.org/ - Proxomitron
http://www.synergeticsoft.com/ - Privacy Defender 7.03
However, every user that I have either recommended these to or installed these
for has eventually complained about and then disabled the popup blocking
feature because it interferes with necessary friendly pop-ups. Which leads me
to my own eventual (personal) conclusion, which is that popups must be lived
with - for now.

That's a good opinion.
It would have to be a user level thing, I would think.

Hmm...personally I think this is too iron-clad of an approach. For
example, surf to MSNBC, CNN, Buy.com, or Amazon and friendly pop-ups
appear. Make a transaction on any of these sites and pop-ups appear to
verify credit card validation codes, shipping info, etc. Making a
purchase at Dell.com would be impossible if pop-ups were blocked. Does
this mean that you want to institute a policy that your users cannot
make any online purchases while at the workplace?
Obviously, something that supports rule-based management would be
optimal, but from experience I can tell you that sifting through 10,000+
spam messages per week to confirm that my GFI MailEssentials rules are
working is time consuming enough - I wouldn't want to add another level
of checking popup rulesets with a theoretical popup server-side product.
Course, that is my take on this. I am interested to see what others
think on this issue...

I share the same feeling and if a server side app exist for this
purpose, there should be a means to only apply it to certain users or
through group policies.

My feelings that blocking ads needs to be centrally controlled

There are plenty of free client-side options, Proxomitron, Privacy
Defender 7.0...however from my experience blocking pop-ups is bad news.
One VP here was very angry when an online order was screwed up due to
pop-up blocking software blocking the final transaction process.
Is blocking pop-ups best done at the client level (where the user has
control) or server-side? Anyone else have any feedback on this?

Recommendations software to stop these at the ISA Server?
Are there any?
Any help would be great.
