I've looked through the Dynamics GP 9.0 enhancements list and I have to say that I'm impressed that so much of the new stuff is geared toward administrators. This release doesn't appear to be a festival of new features, but a tightening up of the core.
For admins there's Mass Deployment, Automatic Client Updates, Setup Checklists, Scheduled Backups, and SQL Server 2005 Password Policies (does this mean we can use Windows authentication?)
On the useability side, I saw improved batch creation, calendars for date entry, Smartlist integration with the letter writing wizard, GL Descriptions without drilling down, better check batch adjusting, true multiple remit to's for vendors, and a number of improvements around reporting.
No killer feature appeared but GP has been due for a good, solid boost to the foundation. All the admin features are necessary to compete in large deployments and bring GP close in line with Microsoft's unified update ability.
