Special Note to CD media subscribers: With the number of new releases being released by Microsoft on DVD media only (Windows Vista (x64), Office Ultimate 2007, several language versions of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 to name just a few recent examples), we wanted you to be aware that MSDN CD media subscriptions will begin migrating to DVD media subscriptions over the course of the next year. Regional implementation will begin in Europe, Middle East, and Africa in February 2007, followed by North and South America in July 2007, with implementation for Asia and the Pacific region anticipated in late 2007. Existing CD media subscribers will be automatically transitioned to DVD media for the remainder of their subscription term to ensure that they receive the broadest selection of software media available. For your convenience, MSDN Subscriptions will continue to maintain ISO images of CD-based software releases on MSDN Subscriber Downloads.

Tune in to Dan Fernandez's blog for a discussion of many beginner-level topics, or Scott Guthrie's blog for more advanced topics. As you discover blogs that interest you, subscribe to them using the built-in RSS feed support in Internet Explorer 7.
Writing a blog allows others to learn from your experiences and helps you to develop strong communications skills.
