This release supports the deployment of the Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. MDT 2010 has been in planning and development for a little over a year and changes over 70 percent of the code since MDT 2008.
Image via CrunchBaseMichael Niehaus, a Systems Design Engineer in the Solution Accelerators team at Microsoft, did a great series of blog posts on most of the new features in MDT 2010. Also make sure to check out the two documents included with the release: "What's New in MDT 2010 Guide" and "Release Notes."
MDT 2010, the next version of a Solution Accelerator for operating system and application deployment, includes deployment Workbench and script architecture improvements, flexible driver management, optimized transaction process, access to distribution shares from any location, as well as documentation enhancements. Well over 10,000 testers around the world have put MDT 2010 through its paces across two betas and a Release Candidate build. The RC arrived in August 2009, when Microsoft still expected to have MDT 2010 ready soon after Windows 7 was released. It looks like the software giant managed to get it out early, which is great news for IT professionals.
