I think people need a better understanding on how this works so that know one gets trapped. What I mean is that if you deploy SoftGrid in your company with Windows XP that's great. The trap comes into play if you don't have Software Assurance licensing in your company. From my understanding, you have to have Software Assurance in your company in order to use SoftGrid for Windows Vista which comes with the Desktop Optimization Pack. Software Assurance isn't cheep.
