A couple of weeks ago, I was at the MVP Summit.  All of the MOM MVPs met with the PMs and upper level managers of the MOM Team.  We talked about almost every aspect of Ops Manager 2007. 

I must say I am very, very impressed.  There has been a great bit of work put into this new product.  The MOM Team truely believe in this product.   We all drank deep from the Kool-Aid pitcher.

I intend on continuing to discuss MOM 2005 since I will still be using it day-to-day for quite some time.  But I will be posting on Ops Manager 2007 from time-to-time as I come across differences and nuances.
