It's not somewhat new - it's four years old, and the technology in use was in use in NT 4 systems. It's the standard method of configuring Windows clients that are members of an Active Directory - and will probably continue to be so. A year or so won't even see the release of Longhorn, so it certainly won't be "old".

So that's the answer to my question there: No.

People underestimate the importance of the browser being "corporate aware" - being able to centrally control and configure the browser is important.
