Its been about 6 months since DPM 2007 became generally available in the market, so we starting to hear the question "What’s next for Data Protection Manager 2007?"

Please join us on Wednesday, April 23rd for a TechNet webcast to answer that question, as we talk about new workloads being protected, new capabilities within the product and when you can start taking advantage of them.

We will also have members of the product group addressing Q&A throughout the webcast, to answer your deep-dive questions about the existing DPM 2007, as well as our upcoming enhancements.

If you go to the 'about' for Windows Server 2008, you'll see the box to the right, showing Windows Server 2008 as 'Version 6.0 Service Pack 1".  I'll admit to never having noticed this before ...

But, Iain McDonald (in Windows Server engineering) did an amazing blog on the history of the client OS's and the server OS's -- written by the man who knows it and is definitely worth reading.

Again, this is not my area of expertise -- but as an MCSE since Windows NT 3.51, and having watched Windows NT4 and 95/98, 2000 server and workstation, XP and Windows Server 2003, and now the latest Vista and 2008 generation.  It really provided some enjoyable and understandable history.

Thanks Iain !
