Vista + Aero + group policy

Hi,

for our pre Vista clients (mainly XP) we enforced by domain policy the
"windows classic style"
and set up a couple of things (background image, screen saver, ...). Now
with Vista we want
to enforce the Aero style with same settings (background,.. ).
The problem is that the option to load a specific style in the group policy
is a user setting and that
one user can use different computers (means XP and Vista). Is there any
chance to select different
styles for different operating systems in group policy?

Thanks in advance
Jens

It might be worth putting the Vista PCs in a separate OU; I'm sure this
could be scripted ifyou have lots to administer.

It wouldn't be a problem to put the Vista PCs in a separate OU but the option
"enforce specific visuel style" (may be called somewhat different in english)
is under "user configuration" (exactly user configuration -> administrative
templates ->
system control -> display -> desktop design). Will this setting apply to
computer objects
in an OU??? In my opinion it will only apply to user objects, but maybe I'm
wrong?

Thanks
Jens
