Great Idea for an MS Product

My friend Brian had a great idea for an MS Product today. I've dubbed it "CleanSlate". CleanSlate would basically be a hard-drive image on DVD of a system preinstalled with the following, configured to MS best practices:

Windows (XP, 2003, or Longhorn)
Microsoft Office System 2003 Professional
IIS6
SQL Server 2000 SP3 Developer Edition
VS.NET 2003 (Pro, ED, or EA)

Ideally, this would cost under $700 low-end, and under $2000 for the works, and it would be installable on up to 3 separate machines, unlimited number of installs per machine.

I'd buy it without hesitation.

Now, if I only had an MS License Agreement and a DVD Burner......

  • dude - just go get a ghosting product like the one norton makes.

  • I was waiting for you to pipe up about this one.



    I mean, something from MS where you can buy all the software in one package, and it comes preconfigured from MS for development. Yeah I COULD spend like 9 hours configuring a new machine, and then another hour ghosting it... but who wants to deal with that hassle?
