If these are real, they're screenshots of an early internal build. It'll be a while before they start adding the final artwork.

Sorry, didn't mean to hit "down" arrow, meant to mod-up :)

You're entirely right, that's a domain-policy option. It's a security feature to require a Ctrl+Alt+Del before showing a password box.
