Now that Office 2010 has reached the GA status and Microsoft prepares to distribute it, many customers are looking for the new Click-To-Run (CTR) version: a special edition of the productivity suite virtualized by App-V 4.6. 

To simplify the evaluation, and to promote the Desktop Optimization Package (MDOP) which includes App-V, Microsoft released this week a very interesting Proof of Concept Jumpstart Kit.

The massive package (10GB) includes resources and trial versions of multiple products needed to setup and run a lab where to evaluate the migration to Office 2010 in enterprise scenarios:

• Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition
• Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit (MAP)
• Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT)
• Microsoft Office Migration and Planning Manager (OMPM)
• Microsoft Deployment Toolkit
• Windows 7 Enterprise 90-day Trial image
• Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010
• Office 2010 with Application Virtualization
• Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
• Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express Edition
• Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Evaluation Edition
