    David Lemson's WebLog 8 Sep 2006 | 6:56 am

    Recently, someone asked the following question on an internal Microsoft distribution list: Can someone please outline the ways in which Exchange 2003 is dependant upon WINS..?

    Where have I been?  I have been so very bad at blog posting.  I like to think that I favor quality over quantity :-), but I'm afraid I've been a huge slacker when it comes to this blog.  But I'm going to try to change and blog more often, now that we're starting to go more public with Exchange "12".  In case you missed it from the EHLO blog, our first Exchange "12" CTP is now available to TechNet subscribers.[…]
