Next version of System Center Configuration Manager announced!

On September 30th, there was some BIG news from Microsoft (again)! Let's have a look at which Microsoft has to say about it:

-Windows 10 (!) is coming mid/late 2015, a preview will be available today! Just register at Microsoft to download Windows 10 Technical Preview. Watch a quick preview at YouTube
-SCCM/ConfigMgr (next version) is coming! The next version of Configuration Manager will be more easily updatable to support each of these Windows 10 updates.
-Windows Server (next version) is coming! Just expect a release around mid/late 2015 also!

In summary: 
-The next version of System Center Configuration Manager will deliver full support for client deployment, upgrade, and management of Windows 10 and associated updates.
-System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager or SP1 - we will provide an update to support Windows 10 deployment, upgrade and management with existing ConfigMgr features.
-System Center Configuration Manager 2007 (SP2, R2, and R3) – we will provide an update to support the management only of Windows 10
-Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) will be updated with support for Windows 10.

-Finally, for Windows Server, Configuration Manager will also support the evolving servicing model covered at a high level in the Windows Server announcement today.

This is just the start of the story with this wave of products. We will have much more to share in the coming weeks and months. Thank you and stay tuned for more!
