When you are about to migrate all of your servers or desktops to a new version of Windows - a burning question is always "Isn't there an easier way to managed the changes during and after deployment?" Software developers have been building and following a body of best practice for years that assists in managing bug fixes and changes to a code base. A desktop or server build process is easily as complex as many large software projects. There is much to be learned about change management from software development. The book "Software Release Methodology" is dry, but has some excellent information on this topic. I found the chapter on version numbers especially helpful to understanding how to build version number strategies that work.
