System Center Operations Manager 2007 Eval to RTM

System Center Operations Manager 2007 will NOT be available via MSDN or TechNet download. An evaluation version of OpsMgr 2007 is a currently available for immediate download. If you're interested in purchasing the product, you can upgrade from evaluation to RTM using a tool that comes with the RTM version (on the DVD). The RTM bits are available for download on MVLS now, and will be in the May VL media kits. Upgrading from Eval to RTM should not have any impact on the client machines.

Note that this is the case for English only, as the other languages won’t have the eval upgrade utility included until a later date (Summer 07)

any reason why not? Every version of MOM and SMS has been available on MSDN and Technet downloads. Now the best product to come out of both those applications is out but not on either one of the normal channels for evaluation? (technet and msdn) Any chance you can comment on why this decision was made? and again MOM and SMS (every version) has been available

If your looking to evaluate the product, you can download and run the eval version of it. :) From there, if you want to keep using it you can purchase the full version and upgrade the eval to full using a tool that comes with the product.

Why is it being done this way? I'm not really sure. It appears the SCOM 2007 and SCE 2007 both have this type of deployment. I'm guessing that the other System Center products will do the same type of thing.

Good Answer? Probably not. Sorry.
