I'd have thought their GPO Vault product - if there is one thing 'missing' in GPOs its the ability to apply a level of version control and difference reporting. Doesn't policymaker also allow you to apply binary values via a GPO as long as you have the client installed on the end device? You integrate the client into the longhorn build and you extend GPO functionality. _____ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of M Sent: 02 October 2006 21:05 To: Thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Desktopstandard bought by MS Just noticed that http://www.desktopstandard.com/ has been purchased by MS today.
