  • Blog Post: Dive deep with Windows Server 2008 Unleashed from SAMS

    alanle_MS
    In a previous entry I review the Windows Server 2008 Inside Out publication from MS Press. In my view the Microsoft publication is ideal for those coming to Windows Server 2008 new or with a general working knowledge of the "legacy" versions of Windows. The "Unleashed" series is a little more indepth...

  • Blog Post: Get into the details of Microsoft Exchange 2010 with “Exchange Server 2010 Unleashed” by SAMS

    alanle_MS
    For me, the Sams “Unleashed” series has a reputation for comprehensive in-depth coverage of a product, and often it’s one of the first published on that product, the new Exchange Server 2010 edition continues this tradition. Like the product, it is based heavily on the Exchange 2007 edition, owners of...

  • Blog Post: YOUR WINDOWS SERVER 2008 ADMINISTRATORS COMPANION IS IN THE HOUSE

    alanle_MS
    For me the Microsoft Press book I’ve been waiting a while to see was the full Administrators companion.

  • Blog Post: My Path to eReadership. How and why I converted from the printed word to ebooks.

    alanle_MS
    I’m a bookworm, I’ll admit that upfront now. I like the printed word.When I had my office in Redmond I had so many books on shelves it allegedly kept my room temperature a couple of degrees higher than those offices around me.
