MDOP 2009 R2: What's New in MDOP for Windows 7

Hi everyone, for those of you out there that are following Windows 7 and the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack, some important announcements were made today regarding their roadmap.  Check out their blog here.  

I wanted to highlight 1 particular release.  We have had a lot of you asking about ROI calculations, cost savings evidence and other benefits of virt technology.  In the blog the MDOP team mention an App-V Cost Reduction Study - 156$ USD /PC/Yr in direct costs.  That is a huge number to consider, even at only a few hundred desktops, this level of savings accelerates quickly.  Check out the study, its a great read.
