The Wall of Fire
I've seen some great demonstrations before, but I don't think anything compares to Bill Anderson's “Wall of Fire” demo during Steve Ballmer's keynote this morning. The basic scenario is a wall of one hundred PCs and monitors that display four Windows logos like any basic video wall.
The awesome part is that the entire wall was reimaged using the OS Deployment Feature Pack. The entire process, including user state preservation, took about ten minutes. In the end, every machine was returned to a fully functional state and upgraded to Windows XP SP2 from Windows 2000 and Windows XP SP1.
Great job!
