>>I suppose the flip-side of the local cache is that the road warriors with their laptops can still login to their local machine whilst away from office.
That's what I was thinking. Also, if my DC chokes in the office, everyone can still log in using cached credentials - it takes longer to log in and I dont know how long they can do that for, but it does allow them to do so.

Do a search on recent articles about Microsoft and the culture there. I'm sure they are not always accurate, but there's loads of quotes from ex-employees with axes to grind about "nothing gets the green-light unless its part of Windows or Office" and problems with team performance ratings etc...
