I could have sworn I was looking at System Center Essentials 2010 for a second.

 

Honestly, how many different System _____ _____ ____ products do they have now? I lost count at some point. Still waiting on that real-time management suite for locking, logging out, blacking out (basically RM Tutor without the suck and with the integration into my domain) etc, from MS.

Windows Intune main features

 

Updates (from what I could I see the interface is quite simple and is no match for WSUS)

Malware protection (based on Security Essentials (client-side) and Forefront (backend))...

 

Could that be the reason? [Products have similar roots?]

I have seen a live demo of this and it looks quite good, however I personally want to test it on a virtual system before I give it the go ahead!

Moreso the design of the content panel, which is very similar.
