I almost always use MSI with Group Policy.

Nothing like being able to RIS a machine, drop it into an OU, and reboot and
have all the applications loaded automagically...

Sometimes I use .ZAP files, but those suck, so it's not worth the time it
takes to troubleshoot them.

I'm looking for open suggestions on the best/preferred ways to push out
installs to certain users (not all, but perhaps sometimes). Do you use:

- Group Policy?
- MSI?
- Registry Entry?
- Login script?
