Multicasting in Server 2008
Kevin is right, this has already been talked about , but he does a nice job of explaining the two types of multicasting. Two drawbacks to this however...First you cannot multicast across subnets, well you can but if your network supports this you are wide open to a SQL Slammer type of attack where one laptop brings your network to its knees. Second, you have to have Server 2008 to make this work. A...
Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008 Delayed
What is the status? Windows Server 2008, formerly Longhorn, will be delayed until Q1 of 2008 but will be available to SA and MSDN subscribers prior to RTM. SQL Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008 are scheduled to be released with Server 2008 so I can only assume they will be delayed as well. Vista SP1 also suffers from the same fate, delayed until Q1 of 08. The BETA of Vista SP1 will be available to...

Read Keith's post below to get more details. Multicast imaging support coming...

How to Recover Deleted Files from a Network Share!
Ward has posted over on his blog one great new feature that I was not aware of in Longhorn. The ability to tick a checkbox and have files deleted from a network share go the Recycle Bin instead of just being deleted. I know I have been asked several times why a file cannot be restored from the Recycle Bin after being deleted from a file share, this should eliminate this. I wonder how they will maintain...
