Deployment Technologies in Windows Vista
Two reasons why Windows Vista will be cheaper for businesses to deploy are :
• Modularization. Windows Vista is built with separate but interdependent components, which makes it easier to customize Windows Vista, to a certain degree, to your needs. Modularization also simplifies adding optional components such as device drivers, testing and installing updates, and adding languages.
• Windows Imaging Format (WIM). WIM, a file-based imaging format, enables a single image to be deployed to different types of computer hardware with different language requirements. Maintaining WIM images is easy, because you can add and remove drivers, updates, and Windows components offline, without ever booting the operating system image.
Micrososft insists : “While modularization and WIM alone would dramatically simplify deployment, together they will revolutionize the way client operating systems are installed.”
Windows Vista also includes other new deployment technologies :
1. A single XML-based answer file replaces the multiple files used by Windows XP.
2. Extensive scripting support enables automation of complex deployment tasks.
3. Installation reliability is improved, using the new imaging technologies makes for a more deterministic and predictable installation.
