Right on! I have quite a few SBS clients with less the 10 desktops and no one is buying SA. In fact, I work for a company that has had as many as 300 workstations and it still did not make sense for us. AIS is a nice feature that is going to benefit the small and medium business who cannot afford the SMS packages which the big guys are already running.

Way to hit the target market Microsoft, we are still not buying SA.

It becomes an interesting proposition when you look at all the goodies bundled in with MDOP for SA - SoftGrid, Desktop Error Monitoring, Asset Inventory, Diagnostics + Recovery Toolset, AGPM.

But as you said, you'd be getting MDOP for the MDOP features, not for desktop SA.

Just think of desktop SA as a purchase of MDOP...
