Puppet users - Jan 2012 - Trying to understand how mcollective differs from saltstack?

http://saltstack.org/ http://puppetlabs.com/mcollective/

I found this link that talks about Func, Rundeck, Salt and mcollective, but
it doesn''t really compare and contrast.
http://www.coloandcloud.com/editorial/func-mcollective-salt-and-rundeck/(From
a 10,000 overview Saltstack and mcollective look very similar. IE:
both integrate with facter/puppet, have queuing mechanisms, allow remote
execution and introspection of node data, etc).

Thanks,
Brian

One difference is that salt, compared to mcollective isn''t completely
distributed in nature. In salt, there is a master, which houses all
encryption/security/control mechanisms. In mcollective, there''s no
master
per se, only middleware, which is just transport.
