Windows Server 2008: The Definitive Guide

Acknowledgments

I've always liked the fact that the acknowledgments in technical books are typically in the front. That way, when you read the remainder of the book, you already know who to thank for it, unlike in a movie. So, without further ado:

John Osborn at O'Reilly was instrumental in getting this process organized and off the ground and provided very welcome guidance and feedback during the initial stages of writing this book.

Errors and shortcomings were dutifully found by the technical review team, which consisted of IT professionals Dan Green, Eric Rezabek, and Debbie Timmons.

Special thanks to the many folks at Microsoft and Waggener-Edstrom with whom I worked during the development of the book—their assistance and timely information was quite helpful in putting together this project.

Of course, my family is also to thank: particularly my wife, Lisa, who patiently accepted the insufficient answer of "not yet" repeatedly to her reasonable question of "Aren't you done with that book?"
