When we used it, we had lab monitors to shut down the machines every night. Classes came and went through the day so it wasn't a big deal that they didn't sleep. Bootpicker allows us to do so much more with the machines. I remotely set sleep settings, 30 minutes to spin down. On Vista we changed registry values so when a user logs off it reboots the machine. That way the machines are at the bootpicker screen for sleep settings to take effect. rEFIt wouldn’t allow screen saver settings.

We are running leopard and vista together. The reason for this is we can manage the machines remotely with ARD. we are using bootpicker now. We are running leopard and vista together.

I'm thinking of implementing something very similar? Have you had any issues with EFI updates and rEFIt not working? How’s this solution working for you?
