“Not Applicable” means that the setting is not available in that version of Windows. For example, there are many new settings in Windows Vista that will have no affect on computers running Windows XP including the settings for the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security. “Not Defined” and “Not Configured” are functionally equivalent, they mean that the FDCC does not require any specific value for that setting and agencies are free to configure it however they wish.
