James Senior: Who actually uses a DVD to deploy? Do you build PC's and sell them? Are you frustrated? Frustrated by the speed of your deployments? Do you find yourself waiting, brewing tea waiting, wondering if... if there is a better way, a better way to deploy the one thing that holds you back. Yes, I'm talking about your Operating System. I don't mean to be rude, but the number of people who put their hands up at roadshows when we ask the question, "who installs their OS using DVD" is quite frankly worrying...no disturbing. Let me put it in perspective.
If you are installing your OS, beit Windows Vista (preferably) or Windows XP by DVD then in effect you might as well install it using floppy disks.
Although technically not a fair comparison the analogy holds true.
What then is the alternative?
