We haven't updated ms.com yet (its coming) but the instructions are the same as the CTP. This time around there is the main product CD and a separate Adapters CD. Beta 2 had a strong quality bar (production beta for early adopters) so I think you are going to like it.
This week is Thanksgiving week. I never really understood why American's have their longest holiday of the year in the darkest time of the year - but then again coming from a country that celebrates X-mas on the beach with a cricket game what do you expect.

01.08.2006Windows Server 2008 copies 45 Times Faster Than '03
It's not unheard of for some of the earliest adopters of Microsoft's Vista this year to compare the experience to swimming in wet cement --
slow and not very pretty.
But word is filtering out of the Redmond, Wash.-based software giant that indicates its new server could be
considerably better. Ward Ralston at the
Windows Server Division Weblog reports that "our MSN group who is dogfooding Windows Server 200 RC0" has
achieved the kind of testing results that might prompt a double-take. In a side-by-side between Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008, the group
set out to transfer 10.8 GB of "VirtualEarth Stitch files" from one server to another, and back again.
On Windows Server 2003,
the data took five hours, 40 minutes and 30 seconds to transfer once, and more than six hours to transfer back again.

Microsoft has to decide on how it will handle Windows 7 SKU pricing for netbooks. Ballmer said about 90% of netbooks generally priced at $200 to
$400 have been shipped with a stripped-down version of Windows XP and buyers of netbooks with the low-end version of Windows 7 will have the

as $2.60. Apple has not officially commented on the matter yet but it seems a change will have to be made to the current algorithm. A scary
