Microsoft preps 'Intune' launch
Microsoft this morning announced a March 23 release date for Windows "Intune," a new online service for managing Windows PCs.
The company is aiming the service at businesses without full-fledged IT operations, hoping that they'll be interested in the types of PC management tools common among large enterprises. Microsoft is also pitching Intune as a way for IT departments to move into cloud-based operations.
Intune comes with a web-based console for managing, updating, monitoring and tracking all the computers in a particular company. The company previously announced a price of $11/month per PC for the service.
The service also comes with Windows 7 upgrade rights -- part of the broader effort by Microsoft to get companies to move to the latest version of the operating system. Intune has previously been available as a beta.
