Microsoft's desktop optimization pack sets sales record

eWeek | at | by Mike

The Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack for Software Assurance has been the fastest selling Version 1 product in the history of Microsoft's volume license program, with more than 3 million licenses sold over the past nine months.

The product is only available to those customers who have a Windows Client volume license with Software Assurance, a fact that had not been an obstacle to adoption, said Brad Anderson, the general manager for the Windows and Enterprise management division, at a press conference at the TechEd IT Forum here Nov. 12.
