Well, that’s all for now. As you can see, XP has some amazing new features that are sure to lure any IT person to it. Now, I had done a review on Whistler server Beta 2 a while back and some of these functions appear to be available on Server. We will definitely see some of these features on a larger scale when .Net server debuts. For example, the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard is scaled up on the server level with the User State Migration Tool. This tool will be discussed more when I can actually use it. Hopefully someone at Microsoft can help me with access to Server. I would really like to see the extent that Microsoft is going to support these enhancements in .Net Server. What if Microsoft were to extend the capabilities of Remote Desktops from Whistler Beta 2 to allow Remote Assistance for all of your clients? The possibilities are endless. Now we can see a hint of the future of Microsoft and .Net. So pay attention and enjoy the future. Don’t get left behind.
