Q: What's your preferred method to actually deliver the images?
A: Well, it depends upon your needs, generally. A lot of people will go with the simplicity of a CD image for large scale deployments, but in a recovery scenario they might use something like RIS.

A: The biggest changes made to sysprep since W2K are improving the ability to deploy a single image throughout by allowing for a single chipset. Also, bug fixes are nice. For instance, you don't have the master machine that won't shut down. Also, the interface is improved so you can use the GUI, etc....
