Interesting features include "Popup Manager" and the fact that Internet Connection Firewall will be enabled by default...

been through the document adn these are the bullet points
Major enhancement to internet connection firewall
one good offering is boot time security
(once my pc was under attack and i had to disconnect,
let it boot fully then connect the dsl) and
closing ports except when in use
more secure browsing and protection from spyware
local subnet restriction so you do not receive traffic from China
New Internet Explorer Security Setting
Internet Explorer Add-on Management and Crash Detection
Internet Explorer Local Machine Zone Lockdown so pages saved locally dont bite
Security setting for Java VM
IE MIME Handling Enforcement
Option to block all signed content from a given publisher
Restrictions on new window instances and resizing
IE status bar to be always visible
