I know … it says "Software Development Environments". I try to steer clear of all those "agility" and "software factory" things that MS bandies about because the’re code words for "developers only!". But this time, this might highlight something of real interest to infrastructure specialists. Software developers should be constantly testing and rebuilding their PC’s. That means that Vista will constantly look to reactivate. Hence, lots of information about how to manage Vista activation.
Anyway, Microsoft has released a document on how to plan for activation in such an environment.
