Microsoft.com Now Running Windows Server 2008 R2 Beta
Do you remember the tale of the Windows Server 2008 “Lone Server”? Maybe it was read to you as a bedtime story as a change from “Mommy, Why Is There a Server in the House?” There he was, this poor Windows Server 2003 server, all alone in a server farm of Windows Server 2008 machines. Out-of-date. Out-of-style. Out-of-touch with the needs of modern Web server administrators.

Web AI: Would You Like Apps with That?
Very recently, we announced the availability of the Microsoft Web Platform Installer (Web PI) in Beta. If you remember, this is a tool that allows you to obtain and install Web server components, development tools and database technologies to implement an integrated Web platform for your development or hosting environment, and that provides end-to-end functionality to support ASP.NET, PHP, and other types of Web application.

UrlScan 3.0 Beta and Tools to Help Mitigate SQL Injection Attacks
Microsoft published a Security Advisory today providing information for developers and Web administrators on ways in which they can mitigate and prevent SQL injection attacks.

SBS myths dispelled...by "Tom"
In the course of talking to many Microsoft partners and customers, the Windows Small Business Server team has learned that there are sometimes misperceptions about the product, in many cases based on experiences with the earlier versions of SBS. In hopes of dispelling some of these "myths," the team has created a video log by an "SBS guru" named Tom. Take a look at some of the first videos, maybe have a few laughs, and play a game of "punch a wizard." Look for new posts, too.
