The features that windows vista and Windows Server 2008 will portray are they can hold many data such as offline files, the transactional file system, better communications, Server Message Block, security policy, and network client validation. This will help the business world in a great way because it can monitor specific events. Also it can forward data to windows server 2008 for more information. Another excellent feature it gives that it can make sure those customers, connecting to the network, are secured and clients can print jobs.

The purpose of the corporate blog posting was to tell the users about the new product. They are marketing this product so the customer will buy the product. In the blog they are telling about the how useful the product is. They are combing vista and window server 2008 together and seeing how the user will reply to this new product. Many users have given their opinion about the product. Vista and Window server 2008 share same code. Many users gave their opinion how they felt about the new product, I felt some are happy to see the new product, some are not they are just complaining about Microsoft product. My opinion is that it accomplishes its purpose because by searching about this product I saw many articles and blogs about the products, also this blog easily describe the purpose of the product, users have gave their opinion, and they wanted to customer to read the blog and they did. This is the one of marketing the product. I think the one way of improving this is to provide little history about Microsoft products because some users are not happy with vista, they should provide information how useful is vista, they should provide more information about how the feature will work. This should provide information that will satisfy the customer about the product. On the other hand, I would definitely like to use this product and see what have they changed in the new product.

This is also a corporate blog where they are having launch of Microsoft Server 2008 in Los Angeles. Their product is for third generation with lots of features in it. It is a great product for everyone. The Microsoft is really working hard for their customers to create new products. It will be a great opportunity for users to use this product. These blogs will definitely help Microsoft to get ideas what their customers really want and based on that Microsoft can provide better service and products to customers related those ideas or problems. They have accomplished their goal by providing specific details about the product. I would say they can provide more about the past product, for example a little more details on window vista.
