it depends on envision , think desktop should be.
there no silver bullet - there customers little
group policy shut down "annoying" functions/notifications
users can focus on work , others shut down
the whole os allow functionality people *need* work.
 
these approaches comprise of couple of pieces build complete
picture - based on think necessary.
 
what i'd suggest:
- start defining os should like/the oss different
business units should (this involves interviews, asking
pain points, ...)
- create "importance" list of things want achieve, based on
interviews , required functionality fits business/security/...
- based on list, create group policy
- build several images , configure group policy , have people test
them. you'll find goals contradict each other ("fully
security" vs. "fast startup", "least priv" vs. "usability of component x")
 
probably not looking - that's more of
methodical approach.
