The next version of BDD (BDD 2008?) has entered into beta

I've written about BDD in the past and this is a noteworthy announcement too. "BDD Development 4" is now available on the Microsoft Connect site if you use an invitation code of: BDDP-QMYH-VWTH

What is new so far? A lot!

Support for multiple task sequence templates
New sample templates
Ability to invoke web service calls
Support for web service calls from rules
Support for side-by-side installation with Deployment 4 and BDD 2007 installed on the same machine

Lite Touch Installation (LTI) enhancements:
Support for Windows Server 2008, including multicast WDS
Enhanced disk and network interface cards (NICs) configuration options, including support for static TCP/IP configuration
Design changes to ease the migration from LTI to Configuration Manager 2007
