This isn't true for Win 2008. There's a GUI-less 'headless' mode. Windows 2008 seems quite good. The biggest problem for me is that they've moved everything around. I'm lost in IIS setup, all the settings I'm familiar with have moved around. Actually my biggest gripe is that they've messed up NTBackup. It can only backup local drives, not network shares. -- Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
