And while you are thinking about Altiris SVS, you might want to check out the recent Podcast recording with Randy Cook, the Chief SVS Architect at Altiris. In this 12 minute audio cast, Randy talks about the beginnings of SVS (started in a basement, had three patents filed, acquired by Altiris) and how they have since completed an estimated 250-300,000 installs of the product. The media has also taken notice of the product, and it has been recognized many times by receiving numerous awards.

Who better to explain the product than Randy! Listen as he talks about how the product can instantly activate or deactivate a particular piece of software, revert a piece of software back to its first installed state with a simple reset and how it eliminates application conflicts.

He also talks about various new features found in the 2.1 release of SVS and makes mention of both Run Time Mode and Logon Hook.
