Eric, In all fairness to MS, some of us (about 20 at last count :-) ) have a real need for the nuts and bolts detail that they put into the ResKits.
Me, I live for them. But, I wouldn't recommend them to my students as their first line of defense, nor to my co-workers (now that I'm back in the trenches where all the FUN is!). The ResKit have their place, and I appreciate MS making this information available. My personal fav in ResKit is about 20 pounds and 7000 pages - the CD tools alone for W2K server are worth the price of admission!
