Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 shipped recently, but we are not done yet! This year, we will also release a service pack and an R2. In this session, we cover the changes we are making in the System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1) timeframe, in addition to the following System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2 release. We briefly introduce System Center Configuration Manager, but our focus is on the new elements to support Windows Vista Service Pack 1, Windows Server 2008, in addition to some additional changes for Asset Intelligence and Intel AMT Integration.

Guys I think this is around 9PM GMT?
<RANT>
I wish Microsoft would GET IT IN THEIR HEAD ITS THE WORLD THAT USE THEIR PRODUCTS, NOT JUST AMERICA(TM).
Why don't they announce this stuff in UTC with the offsets for Pacific time included in brackets?
UTC > en.wikipedia.org/.../Utc
Example:
Thursday, February 28, 2008 21:00 UCT (Pacific Time (US & Canada) -8).
Now I know it's 1PM for Pacific time, or if I live anywhere else in the world, and i know my timezone offset (which you all should do) then I can work this out without having to translate the times and get caught out by daylight saving etc.
The whole point of having a coordinated time system covering the entire world, acknowledged as a world wide standard, with more organisations\bodies behind it than you can shake a stick at is so that people use it to COORDINATE themselves correctly!
