Rob -
.NET Framework does not defeat any Windows security policies set on the
machine, Windows security is fully enforced when you have .NET installed.
Furthermore, .NET Framework provides its own policy tools that allow
administrators to further restrict how managed applications are run. For
example, using .NET Framework Configuration applet from control panel, one
can set the policy in such a way that no managed code coming from the
Internet or Intranet can be executed, and then an msi policy deployment
package can be created, which will in turn deploy this security policy to
other machines.
