Well, that brings us to the end of our course on Windows Server 2008 and what I want to leave you with is where do I go next and I want to answer that question for you. The first place I would start is I would go to Microsoft.com forward slash Windows Server 2008 or you can just go to Microsoft's home page and do a search on Windows Server 2008. Notice they have a huge section of their web site set aside for this. There is all kinds of information out here. Just start to go to this web site and then scroll over to the right side of the web site. You will notice that there is a Reviewer's Guide, Eleven Reasons to Upgrade, Virtualization with Hyper V. We didn't go into Virtualization a whole lot in the course because it's an emerging technology. There's a lot to it. You just need to get out and introduce yourself to it and read up on it and just kind of tinker around with it; tinkering being one of those southern technical terms. The one thing I wanted to point out to you is on the Try-It section. You can get trial software, virtual labs, test drives and so forth. The trial software you can download on Microsoft's web site. Notice it's a free, fully-functional version for 60 days. You can extend that by registering up to 240 days and notice there are test drives and if I click on that, you'll see you can download test drives and you can kind of walk through things and see what's going on and you can see even more videos, Ten Cool Things to Do with PowerShell Server, Core Remote Management and so forth. So you can get even more information out there on Windows Server 2008. You'll notice down here, you don't have any right now, virtual hard drives. You can download Microsoft's Virtual PC product from their web site for free and then install this virtual hard drive or just attach it and you will have a working version of Windows Server 2008 in Virtual PC and you can work with it and play with it and get your hands on it and kind of develop your chops with it, OK? If you're new to IT, you probably heard a lot of things here that maybe were over your head, didn't make sense. Don't let that bother you. Just continue to read and learn. Get hands on with this product. Another great place to look is out in the Microsoft Press books and if you will look over here on the web site links, you will see on Technical Resources, you'll see Learning Resources, places to go for classes, stream or download webcast or podcast. Some of those are really good. You can go take classes. You will notice you can get links out here to the Microsoft Press. Go to your local bookstore. Get information on this and don't try, don't get discouraged by trying to consume too much of this at once. Just go out there and slowly pick it up a little bit at a time. Again, get hands on it. I hope you've picked up a lot in this course. Believe me, there's a lot more to Windows Server 2008 than we covered here in, gosh, almost seven hours video. So anyway, thanks for getting the course. I hope I've helped. I hope you've picked up a lot of information from here and I look forward to seeing you in the next course.
