Med-V v2 Intergration with SCCM

While looking for some further information about something else, I came across something else interesting that someone had happened to tell me at the MMS UK event in London that I was at in May but I'd forgotten until now.

We’ve been investing in Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) and Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V), two key components of the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack for Software Assurance (MDOP) to help our customers migrate to Windows 7 with greater ease, and today we are announcing that a MED-V v2 beta will be available in CYQ4. MED-V v2 will provide a seamless user experience that will take advantage of Virtual PC 7 enabling USB support. It will also be fully manageable by System Center Configuration Manager which will simplify overhead and management for IT professionals.
