Station Control –Teachers can lock any one or all stations if needed and can also open and close applications too.It also can be extremely helpful in places where budgets are tight and monitors aren’t easy to come by.

It was great seeing the type of experience a student would have with Windows MultiPoint Server which provides a Windows 7 desktop experience – at the same time empathize with the realities of what teachers and instructors are up against with limited resources and tight budgets.

Last week, I met up with Dean Paron from the Windows MultiPoint Server Team where we shot a video of him talking through Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 and its features.

The difference between the two is that Standard will not support domain-joining and allow for only up 10 stations (or 10 sessions) while Premium is domain-joinable, supports up to 20 stations (or 20 sessions), and supports Hyper-V.
Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 will be available in 2 editions: Standard and Premium. Later this week, Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 will be available for TechNet and MSDN subscribers to download. Today, we are happy to announce that the trial for Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 is now available on the Microsoft Download Center for download.
It can be used for in classrooms, labs and libraries. What Windows MultiPoint Server does is a PC’s excess capability to enable a single PC to support multiple users simultaneously.
Windows MultiPoint Server is designed to make technology access easier and more affordable for educational institutions. Back in January, Gavriella Schuster published a blog post introducing Windows MultiPoint Server 2011.
