Microsoft has made the second version of its Windows Intune cloud-management service generally available to customers on October 17, as promised.



From All About Microsoft:

Windows Intune enables businesses to manage and secure PCs. It also provides users with rights to current and future versions of Windows — similar to what they’d get if they signed up for Microsoft’s Software Assurance volume-licensing program. Microsoft also is attempting to pitch Windows Intune as a way to get customers to move from Windows XP to Windows 7 because of the current/future Windows 7 rights.

Windows Intune is a Microsoft cloud service that provides IT pros with PC management and security for $11 per seat per month. (There’s a free 30-day trial for users with up to 25 PCs available.)
