You have stated, on a number of occasions that Vista brings you nothing but cost, for no discernable gain. That appears to me that you have made up your mind on the issue - rather than seeing this as a question that is "still open". I don't see where I'm making any assumptions here.
FWIW we are using TPM + (optional for users) PIN, and obviously escrow the keys in AD. We are just rolling new Vista Sp1 based image out to our WDS infrastructure that I believe will automate this for most users. For SSTP we are looking to replace our existing F5 infrastructure with WS2008-based RRAS VPN + network access protection (NAP) Cheers Ken -----Original Message----- From: Micheal Espinola Jr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, 11 May 2008 1:15 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: R: R: Why XP is doomed I have never suggested that no one else has a reason for switching to Vista. What's the problem if I'm continually gauging opinions and gathering facts to see if perhaps there are some new nuggets of info that I'm not aware of? I would never think there isn't, so I continue to ask when I see posted opinions that have no supported reasons included in the post. Why you would think that any of the information I have been responded with previously means nothing to me, I have no idea, as nothing could be farther from the truth. If I didn't care about the opinions of certain people on this list, I wouldn't ask the question(s). In the future, please play the assumption game with someone else. I appreciate the details for why you are upgrading to Vista for BitLocker. Will you be using TPM or thumbdrive based key storage?
