The thing that makes me most sad about the Home editions of Windows is the lack of several useful MMC snapins, mostly the Local Group Policy Editor. I discovered that Home editions do have some policy Registry entries, and I have heard that whacking gpedit.msc to run on Home editions does work. Of course, doing that is definitely a licensing violation.
Therefore, I'm considering writing a program that works like the Local Group Policy Editor, reading ADMX files and writing POL files. There are other parts of Group Policy that don't use the same places in the Registry (i.e. everything other than Administrative Templates), but those might come later, if I decide to do this at all.
