Back to my original question: When will Kix be able to tell the difference between a Vista box and a W7 box (the @ProductType macro).

By the by, I have been running W7 since the first beta --- seems to be pretty solid and I have only had a few speed bumps along the way. I am this close (| |) to whacking my production box (currently XP) and using W7 for production. I suppose that is to be expected from an R2 product from M$ though (Windows 7 is Vista R2, IMO, but I digress).

For those working in the Enterprise, M$ has spent quite a bit of time and effort tweaking the Deployment Tools ... WDS, WAIK, ImageX and related technologies are actually starting to look like mature products (*gasp* -- I can't believe I just said that) and the new DISM is so easy, even I (a Caveman) can use it. They do have a bit of work to do on their documentation (who doesn't), as getting a totally silent W7 install was a pain in the @$$. Setup and configuration of the server itself was a breeze, but those stupid XML answer files ---- EEAK! Thanks to Google and a bunch of folks who are doing the leg work for others, I am happy to report some good results. I am even considering abandoning Ghost as my deployment method and use M$ technologies instead (omg, there I go again!). I must really need to get some sleep!
