Very nice find syar.
The Netsh Helper and the IE revisions are an impressive steps to try and prevent the ridiculous number of browser hijacking and unsolicieted pop-up windows plaguing the internet right now.
But alas folks will need to wait to see this release. The beta is nicely done; imagine a stand-alone Security Hotfix panel that does an analysis of a local or remote computer, does a security analysis, and pushes the needed missing hotfixes to bring the system up to date. IE has added a lot of controls on ActiveX and java scripting; is self-contained in the sense that it does not rely on DLLs; and rather aggresively blocks attempts by hijacking malware to change the configuration.
But alas, the opening screen says "Winter, 2004"

Yeah Bill!
There is some interesting changes to come.
Haven't read it all thoroughly though ,just skimmed through it.
Nice that they have described the policies and registry controls.
I understand that a "final" beta (not alpha) is now out at beta testers.
