My policy is always to use a per machine install in roaming profile environments.. Besides the 'standard' discussion to determine if roaming profiles are a good idea in an organization. In most cases you will end up with a fragmented active directory; some users are with a roaming profile, others are not (due to several things). So in this scenario a per machine installation will always work, the per user part will likely only consist of some registry work, which you can handle through active directory policies :)

Sounds interesting if it does.
