One of the hardest parts of learning about a huge new operating system release like Windows Server 2008 is sifting through all of the available information for for what really matters to you. For example, if you routinely have to support Branch Office scenarios for your domain controllers, you’d like to avoid all of the marketing babble about how revolutionary the product is and get right down to to the technical details. And, if you’re like me, you don’t want to skip around a 90-minute webcast to find the five minutes of information you really want to hear.
The Windows Server 2008 Webcast Express Demo Videos highlights the many different improvements and new features in Windows Server 2008 through some concise videos (most are around 10 minutes long). It focuses on screencasts rather than PowerPoint slides so you can see various features in action. I recently checked out the High Performance and Scalable Networking webcast to learn about QoS options and IPv6 updates. Overall, this is my preferred way of getting information. I rarely like to set aside 90 minutes or so to attend a webcast, but it’s easy to find 10 – 15 minutes to learn about something new just about every day.
