That is why most techs that have to load Winders on multiple similar machines use Ghost.  If I run 
into a tech that sneers at Ghost, then I know he hasn't supported thousands of machines.  It has 
saved me hours and hours.  More time for surfing, doing tickets, securing the network, learning new 
stuff, configuring/using Linux, etc.

Winders is good or passable for some tasks, but some companies are realizing the savings they could 
have, by using alternatives.  Some companies make so much that Winders licensing schemes have 
little to no affect on them.
