It's interesting to learn about the challenges even Microsoft faces when attempting large-scale deployments. Excellent interview.

I have underestimated myself the time factor several times. Deploying 2500 machines is very different to installing 250x10 computers. The fact that netbooks are much slower than standard computers is a key problem here. If you ever deployed a new OS on a large number of outdated machines you know what I am talking about. Also, I am not a network engineer, but considering that 2500 users will go online simultaneously via Wi-Fi on a relatively small area is probably a challenge.

The real wow is the marketing department who bundled up the netbooks with Windows 7. That was a marketing coup and a half.
