In researching the latest release offering of MDOP for a client presentation, I've compiled information from Microsoft that provides links to get additional content.

MDOP employs six innovative technologies to increase desktop manageability, reduce TCO, and improve overall infrastructure satisfaction:
- Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) turns applications into centrally managed services that are never installed, never conflict, and are streamed on demand to end users.
- Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V) provides deployment and management of virtual PC images to enable key enterprise scenarios, primarily application compatibility with Windows Vista and Windows 7.
- Microsoft Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM) provides governance and control over Group Policy through robust change management and role-based administration.
- Microsoft Asset Inventory Service (AIS) is a hosted service that collects software inventory data and translates it into business intelligence.
- Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset (DaRT) reduces downtime by accelerating desktop repair, recovery, and troubleshooting of unbootable Windows-based desktops.
- Microsoft System Center Desktop Error Monitoring (DEM) enables proactive problem management by analyzing and reporting on application and system crashes.
