## If DSC and Chef are simular and I haven't used either, why would I learn Chef over DSC at this point?

## tell us more about configuration management of some "non-traditional" nodes like the network and storage hardware that you mentioned earlier

## Do you use PSH within Chef?

## please igonre if already asked.  Does it work with clients or just servers. Does it have a client install piece?

## what about "what clients are supported", XP, Win7 Server 2003 etc...

##As an enterprise why should I consider Chef over Puppet.  Sorry if this has been addressed

## what about cost?

## if you have a run list and one thing fails, how is the admin notified that it failed, how easy is it to recover?

## how many cookbooks exist today and how ofter do new ones get added/updated?

## if the cookbooks are community created/driven, how is the quality of the cookbook verified?  Does anyone validate the cookbook?

## how long has Chef been "in the business".  In other words can I trust it to be around for the long term in light of DSC?

## does it maintain a "state" or is it primarly used for installation of software?

## wait wait.... just kidding
