Which version to use, a little confusion

Hi everyone,

I'm a little bit confused. A short while after the release of WDS 3.0 a new
version of the 2.6 series appeared (2.6.6, KB926356). Does this mean that
that one should stick to 2.6 being the more mature one (besides having the
capability to index more than one exchange server mailbox)?

Many Greetings
Michael

Can anyone help tell me what/where to find out the differences between WDS 2.6.6
and 3.0?

I can not say anything on the earlier versions.
But WDS 3.0 is essential for OneNote 2007 and Outlook 2007.
V. 2.xxx will not work with these applications.

For Office 2007 integration WDS 3.0 is a good (only) way to go as well as
for most home use 3.0 should work fine.
For businesses or enterprise use you may want to stick with the 2.6.x
version as it supports administration for group policies, can index network
shares with out the add-in etc. 2.6.x is a solid product so if you have
questions I'd say stick with 2.x. 3.x seems to work fine on the system I'm
running it on, but that is a personal home system, if you need to administer
WDS in a busisness scenario, I'd say stick wit 2.x until 3.x has these
features completed.

My 2 cents...
