Just a quick blog posting about Steady State. For those entities that provide public access computing on any level and use Steady state to manage the desktop settings, Microsoft is deciding to stop offering the free download of Steady State as of December 31st, 2010. They will still provide support up until June 30,2011.
Keep in mind that although no longer available to download and/or supported halfway though 2011, this doesn't mean that its no longer effective or that persons/organizations aren't allowed to use it. According to Microsoft's Steady State site ..."This announcement does not affect your right to continue to use Windows SteadyState."
Microsoft doesn't give any explanation as to why they have decided to stop providing the download and support, but I advise any that like the product, to go to the above linked site and download the latest version of Steady State for future purposes.
Although this blog post is not about what Steady State is, here is a link to a post I did about Steady State years ago should you want to know more.
