RE: Deployment/Imaging Suggestions Needed

Hello Adam,
I am glad that it's working for you right now and I understand that a lot
people want this type of solution.
but if they use this and have problems who do they call?
i'ts hard to identify the problems that this can manifest as. So any
random type of issue in the system, hangs, crashes, detection, shutdown,
etc could be as a result. Not saying that they are, but the os is in a
unstable state.
Unfortunately is a very difficult situation to resolve. Windows Vista
resolves the issue.
The more appropriate analogy would be a tire that has been cut multiple
times through most of the treads.
It's still not losing air or leaking however at any point to could go down.
Sure you can still drive on it, but the odds are it's going to cause a
problem sooner that a tire that doesn't have those cuts. it's working but
it could go down at any time. It's adding a lot of risk to a situation
that could potentially cause a serious problem down the road.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

<Hi Darrell.

<Thanks for your concern. I have not experienced any of the problems you

<it seems to work fine. No apparent problems with Plug and Play either.
<My web site clearly states that the solution is not Microsoft

<I believe this analogous to the following: I have no problem running

<and electricians may disagree, stating that this is a fire hazard and

<P.S. My universal imaging guide is the #2 hotspot on my web site,
