I'm considering deploying XP on the workstation level, but I'm concerned
about some xp features that I'd like to turn off by applying group policies.
For instance automatic updates, error reporting, remote control and so on...
Anyone know if it's possible?

> Just my opinion, no real facts to go with this, but I have had many
problems with XP compared to W2K. I still have these problems. Those
problems combined with the fact that it is in my opinion slower, I would use
W2K. There is only one problem with that opinion, I have a hard time
getting machines with W2K, so I have started going with XP for my clients.
There is one positive to XP, some of the new features can make your life a
lot easier, but at the same time some of the "features" can really screw
things up, you have to do a a little extra planning. Also, I'm not sure how
much better the security is, but at least they have corrected a few things
from W2K, and you get more options in the policies.
