R3, like R2 before it, is not a service pack.&#160; It is a new release level that requires new licensing (covered by software assurance).&#160; The deployment will require an update, described in <a href=\"http:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/kb\/977384\" target=\"_blank\">KB977384<\/a>.&#160;

Steve Rachui of Microsoft goes into some depth on this in a <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/b\/steverac\/archive\/2010\/10\/15\/introducing-sccm-2007-r3.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">blog post<\/a>.&#160; Long story short: You can audit and report on power utilisation and costs in your organisation.&#160; You can identify waste using these reports.&#160; Using collections, you can apply a power policy to Windows computers.&#160; Then you can compare your earlier reports with new reports to see how and what you have saved.<\/p>\n<p>As Steve notes, there are some other changes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Delta AD Discovery: Changes are picked up instead of doing a full discovery.<\/li>\n<li>Dynamic Collection Updating: One of the time consumers in new deployments is the time required for collection membership update intervals.&#160; This new interval type is used in a few key scenarios where time is critical.&#160; MS is recommending sparse usage.<\/li>\n<li>Pre-Staged Media: This is aimed at organisations who offload OS deployment to the OEM.&#160; Media can be created from your OSD and sent out to the likes of Dell who build your PCs OS in their factory.<\/li>\n<li>Scalability: Up to 300,000 clients are supported in a hierarchy.&#160; <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom: 0px;
