Well put.... This is VERY exciting.... And makes SoftGrid a no brainer
if you are looking for a virtualized application deployment solution.
Why use Tarpon or Altiris now? It is NOT going to be cheaper and it is
NOT going to compete technically. Unless your goal is less
compatibility... ;) I'm just tickled. I think Microsoft is making
all the right moves on this one and what is funnier is that all the
"critics" that said 1) Microsoft will table the technology 2) Microsoft
will piece it out 3) Microsoft will take years to do anything with it
have all been proven wrong a couple times not. Microsoft gets it.
Let's see if Citrix gets that by releasing Tarpon as a desktop solution
they are walking in to a fight that might not end up so well...
This is really exciting times... Call me weird or even wrong but with
SoftGrid and OS virtualization or VDI even can't you engineer a solution
that can be provisioned in second? I mean, this is ROI and TCO to the
capital T! This is awesome news for us.
I'm actually working on an article on this announcement and I can't wait
to hear what the "critics" say now. I sort of feel for Altiris and
Citrix's Tarpon but really I just want one solution for installing apps.
To me, that is SoftGrid! J I use desktop and SBC also, we are just
talking installation!! J
OK, I'll get off my high horse... ;)

Why not?
The old way let's say a company had 600 concurrent users but had a total
of 3,000 people. They had to pay 75,000 for those 600.
Today they would have to license 3,000 and the cost is 60,000 with the
price drop so how is that not exciting?

I don't consider the change from concurrent to per device/user
very exciting though.....
