This is great but what about DA and ISA Server/Forefront TMG? What are the implications? Do we still need to have an ISA is place if we have Win 2k8 R2 DCs and Win 7 clients? Right now, I'm publishing OWA, OA, MOSS 2007, OCS 2007 to my remote users via ISA. What would happen if I upgrade my DCs to Win 2k8 R2 and deploy Win 7 to my end users?

If everyone in your entire corporation is using direct access and you don't want to enable connectivity when those people are not using their DA-enabled machines, then you could eliminate the need to publish specific services via ISA/TMG since they have access through DA/UAG. Another explanation of the relationship between TMG and UAG can be found in this interview, which should help: http://edge.technet.com/Media/Forefront-TMG-RTM-Overview-Interview/

Good video. And it is also good to see products such as Centrify's DirectSecure product out there that can extend DirectAccess to securely communicate with UNIX and Linux systems via end-to-end (versus just end-to-edge) IPsec authentication and encryption of network traffic. So a nice ecosystem is evolving for DirectAccess.

I just saw that Portcullis announced the release of their appliance based UAG. www.portcullissystems.com
