A better comparison would be between ASR and MDT (Microsoft Deployment Toolkit.) ImageX is a component of the MDT which is pretty much the same thing as ASR, essentially ASR = MDT / MDT = ASR. Both are capable of multicast with the proper infrastructure in place, the images can be made to be customized with both, essentially they offer the same benefits. I don't know the nitty gritty details about ASR but MDT does allow a great depth of customization on how the deployment can be done and what components, applications, and settings can be configured. I assume that ASR can do the same or at least something comparable with little more effort. Comparing the two essentially is the old debate between apples and oranges.

I hope I'm not opening up an APPL vs MSFT flame war.. How does an Apple roll out with ASR compare to a Windows roll out with ImageX roll out? I hope I’m not opening up an APPL vs MSFT flame war..
