Microsoft announced that Windows Thin PC has now released to manufacturing (RTM).
Windows Thin PC (WinTPC) is a new version of Windows 7 designed specifically for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) customers. Windows Thin PC is a smaller footprint, locked down version of Windows 7 designed for virtualised environments to rebuild their existing PCs as thin clients. PCs with WinTPC will not require the VDA license that regular thin clients will need to access VDI desktops according to Microsoft.
The final version of Windows Thin PC will be available to SA customers to download on July 1. Microsoft is ending its CTP program, effective June 6. The release candidate (RC) build of Windows Thin PC will still be available to download at the CTP site with associated documentation until July 1. In an email to testers, Microsoft thanked its early tester community. “We thank you for all the feedback and evaluation provided in helping make the Windows Thin PC a success in the Windows community.”
Microsoft is not planning to charge customers for Windows Thin PC. Instead, the company will offer it as part of Microsoft’s Software Assurance offerings for customers. Microsoft’s software assurance Licensing allows businesses large and small to spread licence costs over multiple years and receive “free” upgrades to newer versions during the licence period.
