  3. Windows Optimized Desktop Unique Value with SA+MDOP Core PC Platform

  4. Windows Optimized Desktop:Windows 7 & MDOP Investment areas Make Users Productive Anywhere Improve Security and Control Streamline PC Management to Save Costs • At their desk • In a branch • On the road • Direct Access • BranchCache • Federated Search • Navigation • App-V • MED-V • Easy migration • Keep PCs running • Virtualization • PowerShell • Windows Troubleshooting Platform • Deployment Tools • VDI Enhancements • DEM • DART • AGPM • Protect data & PCs • Built on Windows Vista foundation • BitLocker • BitLocker To Go • AppLocker • Security development lifecycle • AIS Scenarios Windows 7 Enterprise MDOP Fundamentals Performance | Reliability | Compatibility

  5. Windows 7 & Server 2008 R2 Development ProcessNew approach for Windows development and disclosure • Spend more time on planning & vision phase analyzing trends and needs before building features. • Focus on end-to-end business scenarios – not just new features and technologies. Planning • Give customer and partners a timeframe for the release and stick to our plan – 3 years for Windows 7. • Disclose with higher degree of certainty and minimize changes Predictability • Engaging with partners earlier and more closely to enable seamless experiences and compatibility across hardware, software and services Ecosystem We are here Vision Development & Test Pre-Beta Beta Release

  6. Windows 7 builds on Windows Vista Deployment, pilots and testing today will continue to pay off Improving Security and Control Make Users Productive Anywhere Streamlining PC Management Fundamentals Increasing Security and Data Protection Improving User Productivity; Mobility Optimizing Desktop infrastructure

  7. Remote Access for Mobile Workers Make Users Productive Anywhere Situation Today DirectAccess Office Home Office Home • New network paradigm enables same experience inside & outside the office • Seamless access to network resources increases productivity of mobile users • Infrastructure investments also make it easy to service mobile PCs and distribute updates and polices • Difficult for users to access corporate resources from outside the office • Challenging for IT to manage, update, patch mobile PCs while disconnected from company network Windows 7 Solution

  8. Branch Office Network PerformanceMake Users Productive Anywhere Situation Today BranchCache™ • Application and data access over WAN is slow in branch offices • Slow connections hurt user productivity • Improving network performance is expensive and difficult to implement • Caches content downloaded from file and Web servers • Users in the branch can quickly open files stored in the cache • Frees up network bandwidth for other uses Windows 7 Solution

  9. Search in the EnterpriseMake Users Productive Anywhere Situation Today Search Federation • Consistent experience to find data from multiple locations, including SharePoint sites • Users and IT can pre-populate Favorites in Windows Explorer to remote search sites that support OpenSearch protocol • IT can point users to select search sites w/Enterprise Search Scopes    • Current desktop and Enterprise search solutions are good, but not integrated • Users need to take different steps to find data on PC and data on servers • Data sources are hard to discover Windows 7 Solution

  10. Data ProtectionEnhance Security & Control • Users store increasing volumes of data, including sensitive or confidential data on the removable storage devices • Removable storage devices are easy to lose and, unlike PC, the loss may go unnoticed for a while Situation Today BitLocker To Go™ + • Protect data on internal and removable drives • Mandate the use of encryption with Group Policies • Store recovery information in Active Directory for manageability • Simplify BitLocker setup and configuration of primary hard drive Windows 7 Solution

  11. Application Control Enhance Security and Control Situation Today AppLocker™ • Eliminate unwanted/unknown applications in your network • Enforce application standardization within your organization • Easily create and manage flexible rules using Group Policy • Users can install and run unapproved applications • Even standard users can install some types of software • Unauthorized applications may: • Introduce malware • Increase helpdesk calls • Reduce user productivity • Undermine compliance efforts Windows 7 Solution

  12. Windows 7 Manageability Flexible Administrative Control Increased Automation to Reduce Costs Reduce Help Desk Calls and Keep Users Productive Windows PowerShell 2.0 Integrated Scripting Environment Windows Troubleshooting Platform Remoteable Reliability Data Problem Steps Recorder Enhanced Group Policy Scenarios Group Policy Scripting Group Policy Preferences

  13. Virtual Desktop InfrastructureStreamline PC Management Situation Today • Richer Remote Experience • Richer graphics with improved multi-monitor support • Use voice for telephony & applications with microphone support • Improved printing Do More With VHDs • What is Virtual Desktop Infrastructure? • Maintain VHD: Offline servicing of VHD images with same tools used for WIM • Boot from VHD: Reuse VHD files for deployment to managed desktop PCs • Deploying desktops in virtual machines on server hardware • Centralized management & security • Users can access their desktop and applications wherever they are * • Using Windows for VDI scenarios requires additional VECD license Windows 7 Solution

  14. Deployment Enhancements IMAGING DELIVERY MIGRATION Deployment Image Servicing and Management Add/Remove Drivers and Packages WIM and VHD Image Management Windows Deployment Services Multiple Stream Transfer Dynamic Driver Provisioning VHD and WIM Support User State Migration Tool Hardlink Migration Offline File Gather Improved user file detection INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS CONTINUE Microsoft Assessment and Planning Application Compatibility Toolkit Microsoft Deployment Toolkit
