I just read this article, which announces the beta of MDT 2010 coming out soon

According to the article it will have:

• Support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

Well, that was to be expected. I already installed Windows 7 on a VPC, but the installation process looked the same as Vista/2008. So there’s probably some extra features/roles/components you can select in the task sequences, but I don’t think this will be too exciting

• Deployment Workbench and script architecture improvements.

I’m very curious about the script architecture improvements!! Will they have changed to Powershell instead of VBScript? I do hope so, because i’m still looking for a reason to start learning Powershell!

• Documentation improvement

Right, nothing to add to that

I signed up for the beta, and will get a download link as soon as it’s available!
I will be writing an article about MDT 2010 as soon as I get to take it for a spin.
