Michale Niehaus has reported that Dell is to make it much easier to deploy images using MS imaging tools to Dell hardware. They’ll provide a single CAB file that you can import into your driver repository. No more testing and no more black magic to extract dodgy VGA drivers from executables, etc.
Come on HP, you can’t let them beat you on this one! And IBM … ah I don’t care; IBM support sucks so I don’t even care.
