Coupled with Windows Packager (wpkg.sf.net) it looks like it can be an 
amazing setup. Automation is a wonderful thing. That said, applications 
take a bit of work at first to get the settings all right, silent 
switches and whatnot.
Company culture here means forcing a SOE onto people is an 
impossibility, but one will be born eventually simply through attrition. 
This is largely because I can say "Oh you have a problem? Well, give me 
a couple of hours, I'll back it up and format it." (:
