They did that previously... and figured it was a bad move. We
lose lots of MS licenses this way and MS is not happy about it. So
they do it instead.
Even for network install... it's freaking slow. Around 10,000 staff
and students, we don't have so many switches to plug in to.
And the network at one go can only handle this much.
20-port switch, 10 switches, 200 laptops can be formatted at one
go.
Each session takes about 4 to 5 hours... you can imagine how bad it
is.
Even with CDs going around, the time is reduced to about 3 hours
per laptop. Not fast enough.
