As someone new to the world of servers from the Administrative side, I was thrilled to be accepted as an MVP TechBeta Tester for the Longhorn aka Windows Server 2008 beta back in Dec 2006/January 2007. I have really enjoyed working with the product and being a part of its growth along the way.  But, my biggest interest personally has been the Terminal Server, as that is one part of the WS08 that I can actually utilize most advantageously in my own home network environment.  This segment of your presentation for the WS08 has been most helpful, and explained a lot of the 'whys' that go into the instructions.  Being a visual learner, seeing the steps and going through the motions is a much bigger help in learning than merely reading the instructions.  

Wendy Stidmon and all the WS08 Beta Team members are truly super in guiding us through all the many pitfalls we newbies run into, and it is great to be able to associate with some of those in the background we never see of hear from in the beta newsgroups. 

Thank you for putting this together, it will be a true benefit for many of us who are just getting started in the server world, and I am truly looking forward to the rest of the presentation.  I am going to pass the word along about this information so that others will have the opportunity to take advantage of this presentation.
