Když už jsem si myslel, že snad Microsoft poprvé nevydá
knižně Resource Kit k Windows Vista, zastihla mě zpráva od Windows Vista
Team Blog, že kniha je vydána.

    • Disk imaging
    • User state migration

    system. The Windows Vista Resource Kit covers management topics such
    as:

    • User accounts
    • Disks and storage
    • Device management
    • Printing
    • File sharing and collaboration
    • Internet access and security
