Interested in Leading the Charge on SoftGrid? Be a Part of the TAP Program...

Are you a SoftGrid lover? I am! Microsoft is announcing the opening of nominations into their TAP (Technology Adoption Program) for SoftGrid 4.5.

SoftGrid 4.5
The Microsoft SoftGrid team is currently wrapping up our SoftGrid 4.2 release, but is also already hard at work on our next release, version 4.5. New capabilities that we are building into SoftGrid 4.5 include:

• Enhanced client scalability: improvements to allow very large deployments and integration with ESD systems, such as System Center Configuration Manager
• Availability and maintainability: the most stable and reliable version of SoftGrid to date
• Security tightening: the first SoftGrid release to go through the Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) and enhancements to support internet-facing scenarios
• Globalization and localization: support for both virtualizing non-English language applications and running the SoftGrid user interface in certain non-English languages

If you've got the time, the network, and the patient users, learn more about the program at the SoftGrid team's blog:
