I’am thinking about what happended last year at MMS 2006. During the keynote Microsoft started to talk about Application Virtualization and this was the next step in the Virtualization world. A bit strange because they did not have a Application Virtualization product. I believe the next day SoftTricity appeards on the stage and demoed their Application Virtualization Product. Weird…. Someone else on the stage during a keynote at your conference demoing something you see as a the next step and you are not even close….. We all know what happened three weeks later
And then today, thinking about last year, looking at the previous blog “Bob Muglia kicks off MMS 2007 with the launch of new System Center products and announces Key industry partners in his keynote address delivering the Building Blocks for Dynamic Systems Management” and looking at a SCCM 2007 demo. I see a couple of Operating System packages, some Microsoft packages, a Etrust AV package and……. a SAP package, actually two. mmmm I wonder why they have that package in SCCM 2007. 1 1/2 hour later the sessiojn finished and now I relly wonder why they had that package in SCCM 2007, they didn’t even use it, so why spend a  license on it?
 Anyway, the SCCM 2007 session was quite interesting. Three weeks ago there was no need for a  BDD version and SCCM 2007 Operating System Deployment was Enterprise ready. This time SCCM 2007 Operating System Deployment was Enterprise ready but there will be a BDD version for SCCM 2007. When I look at the way they handle those deployment variables like Timezone, Keyboard layout, Input Language I am absolutely sure that SCCM 2007 cannot live without BDD when deploying operating systems it in an Enterprise…
Still wondering why that SAP package was there…
