5. If there is going to be a virtual server 2005 session, then it might be worth going over the Virtual Server Deployment Manager as a way of simplifying deployments.
   As a long term VS user, the things I would like to see are performance tuning specifically - how to make it hum. Also, your thoughts on using diff files to deploy templates quickly, along with backup considerations. But these are my wants - may not be generally be what is of interest to others.
   
   
   the rest looks good. DPS looks interesting.
