 Not to sound as if I disagree, but one should note that while comparing
"MSDN" to "RTM" may seem analogous (in its true sense), they should not
be considered "identical."

MSDN is a subscription to products; RTM is a product version. The RTM
version will always be thus, while the bits on the MSDN subscription are
updated to include slipstreamed service packs and hotfixes (like XP PRO
SP1a
or SQL 2000 SP3) as they become available.   In regard to ISA 2004,
whoever
said to "wait for the update" had it backwards- the RTM version was
available for general distribution far before it was published in the
MSDN.
The other poster who said not to use the MSDN bits for production, as if
it was not stable, un-supported, or in some way to always be assumed as
"beta,"
was also incorrect-- unless, of course, the version included in the MSDN
subscription was a beta to begin with.

Also, there is a caveat to the "not supported on production servers"
EULA for many of the platforms included in one's MSDN subscription:
MCP's or Channel Partners (which I am) can use the volume licenses
(based on tier) to install the software in "production" environments
when the environment exists to develop solutions for the company's
clients.

Just had to add my .02....

MSDN version is not supported on production servers (part of the EULA
you agree to when you install).
Functionally, they're identical.

I was wondering if there is any difference between MSDN and RTM release
of ISA 2004.

I already setup the ISA 2004 using MSDN version and in the process of
applying for a license for the production environment.  So I was
wondering if I should wait until I get the RTM copy.

Thanks
