Download Free Windows 7 RTM (PoC) Proof of Concept Jumpstart Kit 1.0
Microsoft has continually upped the ante when it comes down to resources offered to customers to help simplify the adoption of its new products and technologies. The comprehensive series of Solution Accelerators offered over the past years is an illustrative example of this, but, earlier this month, new offerings were announced to help
business customers deploy Windows 7. Erwin Visser, director Business-Marketing Organization,
Microsoft, introduced to the world Proof of Concept Jumpstart, Self-Service PoC Jumpstart Kit and Production Pilot Jumpstart. Proof of Concept Jumpstart Kit v1.0 is currently available free of charge via the Microsoft Download Center, streamlining deployment of not just Windows 7, but also Office 2010, Internet Explorer 8, and Application Virtualization with Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack.
“This self-contained, self-service kit will help you complete a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) at your organization, allowing you to quickly evaluate the new Microsoft desktop technologies, including Windows 7, Office 2010 Pro Plus, Internet Explorer 8, and Application Virtualization with Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack technology App-V. It will also familiarize you with some of the important deployment tools provided by Microsoft to assist with your broader deployment efforts. This PoC is not meant to be [a] comprehensive training mechanism but rather an introductory set of modules to familiarize you with tools and technologies,” Microsoft noted.
