Windows 2000 and newer are kind of like people where they can authenticate
and access shared resources. (remember, null session shares are bad.) So
if you put them in a security group, you can grant a computer access to a
shared resource.

The other part of putting a computer in a security group is that you can
actually use the security group to control which will receive a group policy
object. This trick is known as security filtering.
