Windows groups can act as users (as far as owning files, having ACLs
associated with them, etc), which is, perhaps, what I should have said.
I'm not aware of any significant things that groups can do and users
can't, so I made the generalization above.  I'd be happy to learn of the
cases which show that it's an incorrect one.
