Production level testing only. I need to see how it holds up under the stress I put it under. I have 3 other targeted people I will stress test it with as well. One is a heavy graphics user who is on Ultimate and the other is a multiple language user also on Vista Enterprise. I have to wait until it is released by the University before full deployment is possible. This is the first time they have let me do any Production level testing of a new OS that was not on the market. Lower level testing they don't care about but production machines don't get Beta or RC testing.
