I am not sure what the issue is that you (feel you) are seeing.
Policies apply to a specific version or higher of Windows.
For example, there are some policies that apply to W2k and
above, some that apply to XP and above (i.e. W2k3) but not
to W2k, etc..
If one GPO sets W2k and XP era policies all will be applied
to W2k3 and XP machines that are under the influence of that
GPO while only the W2k policies will have effect on the W2k
machines under that GPO's influence.
