Power Users Group in Windows 7

I'm trying to figure out the difference between the regular "Users" group and the "Power Users" group in Windows 7. After much testing they seem the same, Power Users cannot create accounts, install software, change the computer name, or anything like that. Everything i've tried it prompts for a Local Admin username/password.
Anyone know what the difference is? I've read things for XP that say this group can install software and create local accounts, but does not appear to be the case here...

Thanks!
