Active Directory Application Mode (AD/AM) has raised eyebrows. It provides developers an opportunity to incorporate the richness of AD into their applications without its headaches of deployment and support. It achieves this by having instances run as non-OS services, thereby eliminating the need for a domain controller.
AD/AM is available from MS Downloads here:

A scenario I can't help but think about is using AD/AM in conjunction with Authorization Manager (AzMan).
