Attack of the clones......

I don't know about anyone else's company but the one I'm currently work for just create a standardised clone, with some of our basic apps on it. Then roll that out..... it doesn't matter what OS was on their when you buy it, its going to get wiped anyway.

We wont be touching Vista for a while, just because of compatibility issues at the moment. I had a few with my laptop, created an image of it and have gone back to XP for now until vista is more wide spread and there is more software that is vista compatible.
