Vista and Server 2003

Just unbelievable…you can’t connect a Vista computer to Windows Server 2003 without installing a particular update to Server 2003. Just unbelievable. How could they design Vista like that? Another reason to make the transition to Linux servers…if only that wasn’t so full of it’s own headaches (maybe the headaches are what Microsoft is relying on…they can get away with making really stupid headaches because it’s a little less harsh than the Linux headache).

Anyway, here’s the link to Microsoft’s Knowledge Base article that has the download links:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926505

And, yes, at the bottom of that page is a link to another page with a link to a document on “compatibility issues for running Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2007 in a Windows SBS network”

Just to add onto this entry, Remote Desktop Connection (Terminal Services Client 6.0) has it’s own page as well.
