Other tools will follow in the rest of 2007, including software from the acquisitions of Sysinternals, WinInternals, AssetMetix and DesktopStandard. Quoting from the Microsoft press release: Microsoft SoftGrid Enables you to deploy software applications that are never installed to minimize regression testing, yet follow users anywhere, on demand. It turns Windows applications into centrally managed virtual services that are delivered to any desktop or laptop client worldwide. It can also be integrated and managed within Microsoft SMS. Microsoft Asset Inventory Service Reduces application management lifecycle TCO through advanced software inventory scanning and by translating inventory data for more than 430,000 titles into useful, admin-friendly information. The tool is an easily administered, hosted service with no client installation. Microsoft Advanced Group Policy Management Helps IT take control of the desktop through effective change management and roll-backs via GPOs and a robust role-based administration and delegation model. Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset Allows you to quickly repair unbootable or locked-out systems, restore lost data, remove malware from infected systems while the system is safely offline using existing antivirus software, and diagnose system and network issues.
