If you are one of the many IT administrators I’ve talked to that doesn’t like how Microsoft essentially broke Group Policy Software Installation-based deployment of Office when they released Office 2007, here’s how you can provide feedback to Microsoft. I just noticed a blog posting from someone on the Office Resource Kit team with the title, "Deploying Office 2007 with GPSI is not for the faint of heart ". For someone from the Office Resource Kit team to use that kind of title is what I would call irony. I encourage everyone that finds what they did with Office deployment in the latest version just plain non-responsive to customer needs, to submit a comment to that blog posting. I think if they knew how many people were adversely affected by this decision, they would perhaps get around to providing some better deployment solutions than recommending yet another deployment product for folks to install!
