Nice article on CNET on turning on God Mode in Windows 7. It works on Vista as well.

Nothing new, just access to every Windows setting all in one folder.

To turn on, just create a new folder (anywhere) named GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

Anybody who wants to "try it," be aware that it greys out your Start menu button, and it doesn't come back until you delete the folder and restart your computer.

At least, that's what happened to me. It is pretty cool, though.

I was on home premium... or whatever shipped with my laptop.

Very rarely boot Vista on it, spend most of my time in ubuntu... but had to boot Vista to try that out.

It has a Steve Jobs mode. Apple users think it's the same thing as God mode, but in reality it just gives you the same amount of freedom Windows gives you out of the box.
