Through an internal e-mail I learned that Microsoft has released a <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/974014">Compatibility Pack</a> for SMS 2003 that adds Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 as supported clients. However don’t get too excited, if you want to benefit from OS deployment features, you still need SCCM 2007. Also note that that <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=11811">Mainstream support</a> for SMS 2003 ended on January 12,2010.</p>
