We had to upgrade our public printing software (Pharos Uniprint)
to a version that could run on Windows 7 clients, which was painful because of some
other concurrent, non-Windows 7 reasons.
Mastering sysprep (to change the SID and copy the profile used
for configuration/installations to the default profile) was probably the most
time consuming issue.
Aside from that, it was predominantly software testing (making
sure that everything we were running on the machines worked on Windows 7).
There were a lot of policy changes/testing but that went pretty
smoothly … just allow lots of time for testing.

Has
anyone put public machines out with Windows 7 yet? What fun stories and
pitfalls can you share so that I may avoid them? ;) We are currently running
XP, SAM and Deep Freeze on a domain structure with some GPO’s to lock the
kids out of a variety of things. ;)
Thanks,
