I got aquinted with MOF when it was in V3.0 and I was very impresed by the quality, consistency and very specific guidance in certain parts of the material compare with ITIL V2.0; very important was and still is free and even is said Microsoft in his name was very clear a generic framework; unfortunately had only one small issue, came when ITIL was already a big name in the market, and I guess that because was position to Microsoft products peoples thought that this might tigh them in, even more, to MS technology!!

But now, V4.0 as a personal opinion, with all due respect, is a complete disaster, even if it is free. I had looked specifically to IT Sevice Continuity and there is no way that you will have a clue what you have to do in this area.

My 2 cents: MS wants to get into the band wagon of ITSM tool makers; they had already a failure with System Center; any noise in the area will help them position them self for 2010 when MS will come back with their integrated, maybe PinkVerified TM, System Center!!!

Congratulations Microsoft

I have spend a few days cursing Microsoft for Visita as my damn printer driver keeps crashing but that aside their work on MOF is laudable. In this case they have contributed back knowledge into the IT community. The change management section is very usable but I think the problem management falls short.
The term MOF causes us to roll around in mirth in this neck of the Kalahari! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moffie
