It is hard to believe the Service Management savvies will be easily convinced – Service Management software is a big investment not only cost-wise but especially because it is the heart of the support process, which it orchestrates. In such a peculiar market, where quality, reliability and ease of adoption are more important than price, Microsoft will have to work hard to win any form of trust, let alone take control of the market.&lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://plannetplc.wordpress.com/2010/02/17/microsoft-system-center-service-manager-2010-a-credible-challenger-in-the-service-management-software-market/"&gt;Microsoft System Center Service Manager 2010: a credible challenger in the Service Management software market? « Plan-net&amp;#39;s Blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>SCUG invites you to “What's new in DPM 2010” (Mar 03, 2010)</title><link>http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/scug/archive/2010/02/11/scug-invites-you-to-what-s-new-in-dpm-2010-mar-03-2010.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 11 Feb 2010 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8e8f7986-475c-475d-bdc9-a1b3a63b955b:145013</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;What&amp;#39;s new in DPM 2010&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Microsoft released the public beta for Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2010.
