I can’t for the life of me understand why Microsoft wouldn’t include the release notes for Exchange 2007 on the DVD instead of just having the htm be a fwlink to some MS downloads page for the actual relnotes htm file. I mean if the intention was it always provide the most up to date release notes doc why not at the very least provide the original on the DVD then at the top of that page provide a note saying “go here for the most up to date release notes”.

I guess timing was off and not enough attention could be paid to something as insignificant as a release notes doc. Here’s the text of the doc and link to the actual release notes:

\E2K7EN64\relnotes.htm
Exchange Server 2007 Release Notes   
Release notes for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 are available as a stand-alone .htm file from the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Release Notes Web page.

Or just click here if you want to go directly to them. At least there isn’t some WGA to get in the way.

Anyway, now that I’ve got that out of the way it’s time to do a test deployment .
