Instead, we tend to use Linux as much as possible and only use Windows Servers to support vendors. - Mike @ Sean,

Especially considering how in Linux locking is just 'gnome-screensaver-command --lock' in shell. And setting policy like that is just a matter of dropping a gconf policy file in the /etc/gconf.d folder. (And each option can be either a default override or a hard-locked option). How horrible.
