Hi Just add a few points further. 1. It also provide endpoint protection, i.e AV based of MSFT Forefront. 2. Give you upgrades rights to future Window OS. (Windows 8 is on the way). 3. Benefit is that, all runs on MSFT infrastructure, so if there's outgages you're backed by a FINANACIAL SLA. 4. Fees are set by MSFT so they are set, no reseller can "Do a better quote" 5. You can trial this https://mocp.microsoftonline.com/Site/services/intune/Signup.aspx?offer=winintune for free for up to 30 days on a max of 25 PC's. (Obviusly the upgrade licenses is not part of the trial@:-) 6. Cant manage servers, just PC's 7. Manage policies centrally for firewalls/malware etc.. 8. Some alerting which is fairly basic for threats, updates etc.. 9. Doesn't reply on AD, PC's can be SOHO. 10. Some repoting on application installed, what you have purchased from MSFT and what you actually have deployed. 11. Secure comms (HTTPS). If you have SA then you'lle get a discount from the normal price. Sukh

Hi To use forms internally and if you have a Exchange PF server then it's fine. You can create your template/form and publish to the organisation. The all Outlook users can load the form in Outlook. However, from my experience, and I have just tested now. Users can't access forms from OWA. If you are using Exchange 2010, then I'd suggest that you may want o use Outlook Anywhere. This was users will be able to access the forms. Sukh
