Re: Some remarks regarding Vista's event logging

I can, it's called VMware where I have my various images I'll need to 
handle machines.  Or for many businesses it will be a year or so before 
Vista/Longhorn is rolled out.

Vista is a different beast.  That's the reality.

There are betas of Longhorn available if you really want to play around.

In a SBS network they've arleady provided a Vista package for our 
networks to help us deploy them.
