Happy New Year to ZTP 3.1
Yes, it's true. The Microsoft Services Managed IP solutions group has been working for the last few months to package up ZTP 3.0 with current fixes and updated documentation to release as ZTP 3.1. Ironically, this is about the same place we were with this same team over a year ago, but they have a few new people and seem more motivated. This same team is also developing ZTP 4.0 based entirely on ILM 2.0 (and they may be searching for another build-with customer). I expect that ZTP 3.1 will be a formal Microsoft Services Core IO Service Line Offering in Feb or March and that ZTP 4.0 won't be generally available until late 2008 (though build-with customers may see multiple releases this year). May you be provisioned a happy new year.
