WDS is designed primarily to be used to deploy Windows VISTA, Windows Server 2008, and Windows 7 but can also be used to deploy other operating systems such as Windows XP. WDS uses disk imaging by utilising the Windows Imaging Format (WIM). It can also be used to fully automate and customize the installation through the use of unattended installation scripting files meaning it can be used to install the operating system from the ground up resulting in a hardware independent deployment.
