Delta ForceI'm pleased to announce that Windows Vista® Enterprise will now be available to Certified and Gold Certified Partners for use within their businesses for internal and demonstrations to their customers. This has been a Partner request since Microsoft launched Vista and their subscriptions provided Windows Vista® Business as the only option.
Special thanks is in order for Ken Lince from the Microsoft Delta Force Team, Eva Skidmore from the US Partner Group, and the many other for the Microsoft Partner Program that helped get this approved. For those of you that are Microsoft Action Pack subscribers, I've already asked when we might see this rolled down to our subscriptions so bear with me.
Here is a list of a couple quick FAQs about the availability and licensing of the Windows Vista® Enterprise product.
