We hit the driver jackpot tonight- July 15, 2008 Normally I wait until like 10 or 11 pm for the auto sync to occur but I just couldn&39;t wait any longer. I just had to see how many Realtek drivers I got today! Looks like we won the lottery tonight! I got three Forefront patches and all of the rest of the 4,437 patches sync&39;d up (and fortunately not downloaded) are all Realtek drivers. So hey, come on over to my server, because I have Realtek drivers tonight! So seriously, hang loose folks have pings in to ask why.http://msmvps.com/blogs/bradley/archive/2008/07/14/we-hit-the-driver-jackpot-tonight.aspx Demo Showcase 2008 SMB Edition- July 15, 2008 Download details: Demo Showcase 2008 SMB Edition: http:www.microsoft.comdownloadsdetails.aspxfamilyid=209862ef-f11f-4b80-aa0b-1463b0e38437&displaylang=en&tm The Demo Showcase 2008 SMB Edition is a set of 4 comprehensive click through demonstrations designed for partners.
