Windows Server TechNet major update

So many announcements in one day. To coincide with the launch of Windows Server 2003 SP1, the Windows Server 2003 TechCenter (TechCentre when spelt correctly) has been significantly revamped to include all the latest information.

- German: www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/de/default.mspx
- Japanese: www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/ja/default.mspx
