Chapter 14: Additional Resources


For my final chapter, I’ll list various resources you can use to learn more about Windows Server 2008. A couple of caveats before I begin, however. First, all URLs are subject to change, and specific resources such as whitepapers and Step-by-Step Guides themselves might come and go as they’re updated for each successive release of Windows Server 2008. And second, I wrote this chapter just before the Beta 3 release of Windows Server 2008-as a result, some of the main Web sites such as the Windows Server 2008 home page and the Windows Server 2008 section on TechNet were still in their preliminary form and had limited content. I’ve been told by various teams inside Microsoft, however, that as of Beta 3 these sites will not only be reorganized and restructured, but they’ll also have a lot more technical content added to them. Fortunately, the teams also gave me some forward links that you can use to redirect your browser to the final location of this content.

Product Home Page

The product home page for Windows Server 2008 is currently found athttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver/longhorn. As of Beta 3, it will include an updated product overview, a more comprehensive features list, links to where you can get the Beta 3 eval bits, TechCenter, and more. The goal of the product site is to help build awareness of Windows Server 2008 among Microsoft customers, so start there if Windows Server 2008 is new to you and you want to find out more. Unfortunately, I can’t describe it more right now because the site is still being baked and I have to finish this book quickly so that it can be published in time for TechEd 2007.
