I've been working with Alan McBurney on and of the a good while now. He attended a TechNet session we ran in Belfast that covered Vista and Office deployment.
Alan took what he learnt and implemented it - overcame some of the more detailed "issues" and ended up with a successful , completely Zero Touch deployment.
This video was taken a few months ago, before he changed companies (he now works for Novosco as an Infrastructure Consultant).
Alan talks about how he used System Center Configuration Manager 2007 and Windows Deployment Services to rollout Vista with SP1 (he also says that Vista with SP1 is much better than it was before SP1).
This is only ten minutes long, and well worth watching - it's great to hear how our customers implement our products.
Enjoy,
Dave
