RELEASE: Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack v1.0 available to EA/SA customers

Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack 1.0 (MDOP) is now available for download by EA/SA customers from https://licensing.microsoft.com.  It is 148MB in size and a single downloadable file.

MDOP 1.0 is currently ONLY SoftGrid for Desktops 4.1.  Contrary to popular belief it does not contain the other 3 members of the Desktop Optimization Pack.  AssetMetrix’s Inventory Database, Winternal’s tools, and DesktopStandard’s GPOVault are all to be released as MDOP 1.5 sometime in the summer of 2007.

To be eligible to download & use MDOP 1.0, you must:

  • Have an Enterprise Agreement established with Microsoft that includes the Desktop CAL
  • License the MDOP through your Account Executive.  MDOP licensing is between $7-$10 depending on volume.

For more details on what MDOP is, check out my previous description at http://kurtsh.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!DA410C7F7E038D!1352.entry.
