Pushing Office 2007 via Group Policy

I finally got Office 2007 deployment working via group policies - turns out that the Domain Computer group wasn't allowed access to the 'SharedApps' directory on the server which is why the install was failing. Doh! I also made sure that I added the Shell MST file so that English (UK) was added instead of English (US). Why this would result in Office 2007 then being uninstalled from my Vista machine is beyond me, but it's all working properly now. Vista has a nice feature where it switches between your local desktop session and a virtual desktop session where the software is being installed, letting you reply to prompts and dialogs if needed without interrupting your main desktop session.
