Ops Manager license CHEAPER THAN EVER!!
Guess what, it’s true. SCOM 2007 is now much cheaper than before. Moreover, OpsMgr is priced per device compared to many others which are priced by number of processors.
| License | SCOM 2007 | MOM | Difference (%) |
| Server with 10 Enterprise OML | USD4,833 | USD6,099 | USD1266 (-20.76%) |
| Standard OML | USD155 | USD195.8 | USD40.8 (-20.84%) |
| Enterprise OML | USD426 | USD537.8 | USD111.8 (-20.79%) |
| Client OML | USD32 | NA | |
An Operations Management License (OML) is required for each device managed by OpsMgr 2007, except for those functioning only as network infrastructure devices (OSI layer 3 or below). A device can be a single server, single personal computer, workstation, terminal, handheld computer, pager, telephone, personal digital assistant, or other electronic device.

Ops Manager 2007 Sizing Guide
Its Here!!! The Sizing Guide!! Woohooo!!! Here is some help found at https://connect.microsoft.com/SystemCenter/content/content.aspx?ContentID=5230
MP Wizard?
Everything and more that you can do with the MOM 2005 MP Wizard is now a core part of the standard OpsMgr 2007 product. So while it is true the MP Authoring Console will be released soon, it is really for advanced MP authoring.
The kind of MPs the MP Wizard produces are really very simple and are fully supported in OpsMgr 2007. There are some instructional videos on it at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/opsmgr/2007/evaluate/webcasts.mspx
Cluster MP not clustered
In a recent POC, we were trying to configure Ops Mgr RC2 to monitor an Exchange Cluster. We imported the Exchange MP and Cluster MP. However, Ops Mgr 07 was not picking up the back-end Cluster. When RTM was released, the Cluster MP was no where to be found.
We proceeded to ask PSS regarding the matter and found out that there were some issues with the Cluster MP and that was the reason it was not available in RTM. So for those of you that are doing demos or POCs... hope this little info helps.
