If you follow my blog posts then you know that I mainly write about UDI so I would like to highlight a few features that are available in this release of MDT 2012 UDI.
MDT 2012 provides support for both Configuration Manager 2012 and 2007.
Completely rebuilt designer and wizard
Designer allows for adding multiple instance of a page or a new page to the page library allowing for keeping everything in one config file
Designer allows for dragging and dropping pages from the page library to a stage in the flow, or within a stage to arrange the order of pages, allowing IT Pros to easily design their deployment experience and configure a page once and use in multiple places
New wizard and designer pages:
User Device Affinity page - allows setting an user account as the primary user for a device
User State Page - Allows for setting where to capture user state to and restore it from
BitLocker Page - Allows for setting BitLocker along with various options
Support for both packages and ConfigMgr 2012 App Model applications from all of UDI’s components
AppInstaller which ties what users select from the application page of the wizard to what is deployed to a primary user of a machine allowing for user centric computing
