If you have 30K machines, figure on several dozen needing to install from disk
*every day*, just due to hard drive failures and the like.

And it only takes 1 junior secretary using the old disks instead of last Tuesday's.....

The real problem is at the low-end corporate environment - how many sites that
have only 50 or 100 machines can afford somebody who's able to slipstream
updates every month?
