I passed the 70-656 Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack, Configuring exam this weekend. This exam covers the value-add features for Microsoft customers who have Windows Vista Enterprise with Software Assurance.

Windows Vista Enterprise and the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) provides powerful technologies that will help you secure, efficiently manage, and lower the costs of your organization's desktop infrastructure.

  • Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization (formerly Softricity SoftGrid) transforms applications into network-available services
  • Microsoft System Center Desktop Error Monitoring provides IT with awareness and insight into application and operating system failures
