| I picked out the RC1 for .Net last week and loaded it on a test server to see what it'll do.
In a nut shell... looks a lot like Win 2K server with "bolt on" added features. Biggest thing is the .net framework. Lots of neeto things like a "users" tab in task manager (shows who is logged on, and you can log them out from that window). Also note the shutdown requirements.
At present, there are a lot of study materials out on .Net, but most focus on programming side. Rightfully so, since the .Net Server is still in RC status! For the most part, if you know Win2K and are comfortable with it, the .Net server will fit like a glove.
Perhaps we can compare Win2K and .Net Servers in the same way we would compare NT 4.0 SP1 and NT4.0 SP4 or SP6? Basically adding features and fixing problems, but maintaining the base OS.
But, if you can't get a copy of RC1 and really want to see what .Net will look like on a live network, download and install .net framework into Win2K. | |

Right now the best free resource is here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows.netserver/default.mspx
Yep the official MS poop sheet on the product. If history is any guide, expect about 6 to 8 months of "beta" on .Net server, then a grand media blitz promoting the product. Then and only then will you see more web sites, free resources, and guides on the subject. Probably coincide with new batch of cert tests on .Net Server. So shortly after than several cert books on the subject.
Basically, what everyone is saying is learn Win2K now, and master it. The .Net Server will be a progression of that OS, not a new platform.
The download for .Net server is an ISO. Gestimate 580 MBs. Burn it to CD and install. It will work through the length of the beta phase, then you have some options of purchasing the full product. No easy rides here from MS! | |

| .Net framework basically provides integration tools for XML services, Windows APIs, and web services. The MS .Net Framework site is at:

Only if the company you work for is on the cutting edge of technology and is going to implement .net solutions in the next year. For the other 99.9% of us, we probably will only see the tip of the .net structure.
If you are serious about .Net training, I'd advise you to pursue the MCAD certification. The course material is on the street now, the exams are active, and the cert is just starting to be marketable. On the other hand, it will be a year or more before MS implements an MCSE .net program, if they do it at all. | |

| Sorry to drag this thread up from goodness knows where! However, there is a common mistake here – Windows .NET Server and the .NET infrastructure and two totally different things, linked only by marketing heads.
.NET as a development platform is basically MS’s answer to Java.
Windows .NET Server is a upgrade of the server OS. |
